Hm. Are they for a VR4? CAPS doesn't show the universals as replaceable; in fact, CAPS dosn't even show any of the three shafts as replaceable. The only way to get new shafts/universals from Mitsu is to buy an entire new driveshaft.

Yeah, I saw that too. I'm guessing that's the Lobro joint that connects teh middle and rear sections of the driveshaft. It's kinda like a CV joint sort of.

a Non-VR4 wouldn't have U-joints anywhere. I am pretty sure they are not intended to be serviceable as well. If I get some spare time on Monday, I might call them to see what in the world they are talking about.

Thats some good info I am still looking for a good driveshaft no luck so far. I might just be forced to buy a new one soon since I cant have this car down anymore.

Just found it even cheaper

I do still think I am better off getting a used one just because of financial reasons.

stans3000gt · 03-31-2008, 09:48 PM

So I am just wondering to who had the driveshaft off before is it normal to get this little click in the middle of the U joints on the driveshaft when moving it back and forth the front one doesnt do it but the back two do it just about evenly it still moved pretty freely and feels nice and tight, I am in the process of installing it but I am jw if anyone knows???

stans3000gt · 03-31-2008, 09:49 PM

And by back anf forth I meant to say that I am holding the rear piece in my hand and I am moving just the joint not the whole driveshaft, just figured I would clarify myself. Thanks
