How much time does it take to change drive shaft / U-joint?

Post by cranky »

I have a real bad "shaker"!!! Mirrors are useless at 50 mph...

Tried changing final drive, no luck.... Next and probably the
problem is drive shaft.. Checking with the local shops and I'd
like a clue what to expect.. How many hours do you think they
will quote / what is a reasonable time for a pro to do this job? :help:
TIA!!!!

Luckily there are easy used parts on Ebay.....
