Next, my vanagon recently picked up a vibration (on = a trip back from Billings, MT I live about 150 Miles east). I had the = local VW guy look at it (mostly he just shakes his head at the syncro stuff) and = he thought it was a bad front outer CV joint. I replaced the joint = but that didn't eliminate the noise. I then started going through the = mailing list archives and found that I am not the first with this problem. I = pulled out the drive shaft and drove the van with no more vibration. I then = looked at the drive shaft and found that the rear U-Joint is fused. I am = fairly confident that this was the problem. I then went to the = vanagon.com vendors list and found a listing for Davis Driveshafts in Bandon, OR = that said they supplied the U-joints. I attempted to contact them but found = that their number is disconnected. I have access to a machine shop that = is willing to install the new joints and balance the shaft, I just need the = joints. Anyone with a lead on these please help!
