I had to replace the drive shaft because of a "click" like (I assume) you have. My research showed that the u-joints are not user rebuildable. I ordered a rebuilt and rebalanced drive shaft and replaced mine. I had to send the core back to the rebuilder, of course. The price I paid included return shipping costs and I used the box they sent it in. I received my $60.00 core charge within one week of sending the unit back. The result has been quite satisfactory. You will find my thread on "vibration cured" in which the drive shaft played a prominent role along with motor mounts, tranny mount and tension on the transmission from the exhaust hanger. I also replaced the flex disks and bolts at the time I replaced the drive shaft. The center bearing and rubber mount were included on the new drive shaft alng with the centering sleeves..
