The other thing about the driveshaft is that at one time, and I thought it was still this way, you cannot replace the U-joints, but instead have to replace the entire drive shaft. The reason was that the U-joints were held inplace with spotwelds. And even if you could cut them loose and remove them, Mitsubishi did not offer replacement U-joints. Perhaps by now someone has come up with a suitable replacement.

Thanks a lot for that info Spoken like an expert who has 210K miles on his VR-4 hahaha
thanks. I think you are deffinatly right because its what I am coming to find out, Also the fact that they are not possible to service is correct but some people are checking for me I called some big companies who said they could and I am waiting on pricing. Is it normal that the driveshaft Would go bad at about 130K, by saying bad I am meaning the U joints basiclly becuase unless I am wrong and correct me nothing else goes wrong, I mean I am talking to people who have well over 130K and no problems as they are saying also you have about 210K on your car ever have to replace it?? Anyone any info would be great this is good information for everyone. I do have the carrier bearings New from mitsu so thats a strart. Thanks
