Default Little off topic: 93 camaro problem

My friend has a 93 v6 camaro. It has a 2 piece driveshaft which needs replacing( $1200CA) since the center bearing is not sold as a part. His mechanic say he can get a one piece made for $350CA I'm saying there is a two piece in there for a reason and to find out why its there.

ANybody have some suggestions?

OR....... You could just got to a local junk yard, and get the single piece driveshaft out of ANY 93-02 Z-28. Theyll bolt right in, And there alot stronger. I had a 94 v-6 5-speed a while ago, and I did the same thing. I paid about 50 dollars for mine. Mike

He's getting a custom built shaft, the junkyard wants $800 for a two piece, probably more for a Z28 since its the Z28 driveshaft and must be worth moer money :rolleyes:

You are over estimating the exchange rate a little bit. Probably around two cigarette butts and a half drunk bottle of 50

Around $200US
