Haven't had any experience with these folks but, that is a good price. Unless you are in Canada. Then you've got duty, brokerage fees, etc. You also need the paper gaskets and all new bolts to install it. Are you installing it yourself? Trouble is if you are supplying your own parts to someone else to install, don't look for the work to be warranteed.

Mohrd,
I appreciate the reply. Do you know the technical reason behind the needing new bolts? It seems to me they are not torqued to yield type(only 20 Nm tightening torque) so why the need?

The JTIS also stated no need for paper gasket if replacing with new prop shaft "otherwise damage to vehicle may occur" What's the reason for this? Why would a paper gasket cause damage if installed with new prop shaft?
