DriveShaft

Hey I need a driveshaft, well to compare to the one that is on my car. My car is shaking like crazy and I think its the driveshaft the u joints just want to run a test with another driveshaft so if anyone has one that I can test...and if that is the problem then ill buy it from you. Let me know.


Thanks

my driveshaft recently went bad. crawl under your car and inspect the u joints at both the tranny end and the differential end...if they're bad you'll probably be able to feel/see it... jack the rear up so the tires can spin freely. twist the driveline back and forth quickly with your hand and see if it feels tight or sloppy.

its a lot easier to do this and see than it is to drop your exhaust and swap drivelines to find out that its fine

OR

go to a driveline shop, they'll put your 7 on a rack and check it for you and if they say its bad have them show you while its still on the car which they should have no problem with.

and to drop ur exhaust you'll need 17mm 14mm 12mm (possibly 10mm for the heat shield between ur exhaust and ur driveline)

but before you do anyhting get under there and check it out...if you have to swap driveshafts ur gonna need to jack it up neways
