Looks like this will be a fun project for me and my local mechanic.

I do have the dealer do some maintenance work like brake fluid flush but do other projects myself or with my local mechanic.

I guess at around 200k miles, it makes sense to check the drive shaft bearing in addition to the flex disc
center support bearing for 747 dollars.

NICE - hope its a brand new driveshaft, because a 747 dollar center bearing better be served on a faberge egg on a silk tray with about 200 in change too.
