This is a short update to my earlier post dated 4-1-98.


I just spoke with Todd of Proven Force (driveshaft & u-joint specialists in
Minneapolis, (800) 444-0755) who informed me that they have located a local
supplier for the correct size u-joint for the Syncro driveshafts.
Therefore, they will do the entire job of u-joint replacement and
driveshaft balancing for about $ 135.  This includes all parts and labor,
although UPS shipping is extra.


He also said that they are now stocking the u-joints, so turn-around time
is very fast.  He added that there have been 4 out of town Syncro owners
who have had their driveshafts repaired by Proven Force within the last
month.


If any of you happy Repairees are Listees, please post your experiences
with this repair so that others can benefit from your experience.
