Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

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.....
