hi-

do a search on the web for CV joints and/or drive shafts. there was a place I stunmbled accross awhile ago that does mail order exchange for rebuilt shafts. never used 'em, but that was all they did, so they're probably pretty good. if you don't have web access, let em know and I could look for you (didn't save the link)
