1/2 shafts

[84300DT]

just a heads up guys, one of the main suppliers for rebuilt 1/2 shafts for '84 300D's (and the years nearby) A1 Cardone in Philly just does not have any more left. They were selling through Advance Auto/Partsamerica.com for about $122 dlrs with a $60 core refund (each),which you prolly all know is a great price. Anyhow yesterday it was confirmed factory 'back order' and nobody knew when/if they would be avaialble...
So, back to the drawing board on the search for 1/2 shafts. Success! Found 2 available through a CarQuest shop (local) who had only 3 in the state of CT. They also had 3 in NY state. Bottom line $130 net each (they charge a $90 core each!! so better save those old ones!)
Looked like a topnotch recondition job though.

Hopefully they'll be installed this afternoon and will be able to get dieseling again
