Source for replacement driveshaft

masospaghetti · 03-20-2012, 08:43 AM

What is a good source for a replacement 4WD rear shaft? My slip yoke has noticable slop in it (just grabbing both ends and twisting) and I believe it's producing a clunk in my driveline.

I realize the junkyard is a source - but it seems like the slip joints tend to wear out, would it be prudent to just get a new one? Anything cheaper than getting one fabricated at a driveshaft shop?

Thanks all

If you go to the explorer vendors subforum you will find someone that carrys them.
