hey guys, got the front driveshaft apart yesterday and a couple things happened.
1. the rubber boot disintegrated in my hands
2. the rubber receiving cup in the double cardan joint did the same thing.

i looked for replacement parts but ant find any, online or in stores. is there anyone on here who has done a total driveshaft restoration?

i was going to use a shock boot in place of the old rubber dust boot covering the slip yoke, but i have no leads as to the cardan restoration. (already have the u joints).

The rubber on my cardan joint cup had been half gone for years with no corrsion so I left it off entirely when I rebuilt it for my new shaft this past summer. Still loose as a goose.
