prop shaft problem

I am resurrecting this thread because my driveshaft has been causing both bearing noises and vibrations lately and I think both the universal joint and the center bearing are going bad. I stopped by a local shop that specializes in driveline work and they tried a rebuilder they use with no luck since they said they did not have a core on hand to rebuild so the options were to send them my driveshaft or they would send the parts to my guy and he could install them.
The U-Joint is replaceable - it has c-clips holding it in and the center bearing just presses onto the shaft so they will do the work next Wednesday. When I see the parts I will make a note of the maker and PNs for others here. This is especially important since the driveshaft in NLA from Jaguar so even if I wanted to spend the $1300 for a new one I couldn't. The parts to rebuild are around $250 and a couple of hours labor should put the whole job well under $500 but I will report back on the final tally and resulting improvement in ride quality (hopefully!).
