Pretty sure the u joints in mine are getting quite tired. Anyone have one of these? I can get one online, but was hoping to get one more local to cut down on the price. Let me know! Thanks!

 
You can just replace the u-joints, it's a lot cheaper than buying a new drive shaft, and it's better than new because the joints are greasable.

I did this repair on my GL's shaft and it really wasn't that hard.

A good used driveshaft shouldn't be much. The shipping is the worst. The biggest issue with replacing them, is down time. Plus I would probably need to go to friends shop for tools anyway, which adds more time, and the rare occasion I get up there, we have other things that NEED to be done. So a good used replacement would be the best way to go.

 
It took me about an hour. The tools I used were a file, BFH, punch, and the floor. Everything I read about the job made it sound a lot worse than it really was.

 
Would one out of a 02 impreza wagon work? I have one

If it will
