Pinion Flange Vs. Pinion Yokes?

If the current shaft bolts up, but is just too short, get it lengthened. It's only $100.

Cheap, easy, and you KNOW it will work then.

Or, if you feel lucky, find the tubing, and make it yourself. It's really quite easy - chop off the yokes and/or splines, and transfer them to the new tubing, place on vehicle, get a runout dial, rotate a few times and knocking the shaft straight, tack, pull and do a final weld.

I paid $90 to get the zuk's rear driveshaft extended, and that included cleaning it up and re-painting it..

I didn't even think of that. Thanks Tom ;) I'll look into that. :D

Edit: Just called 3 places, the chapest was $150, others were over $200 :(
