That sleeve looks like a temperary fix...just a piece that gets wedged in there to take up the slop.

Ryan, what a pain in the hiney! Thank goodness I have my u joints off other vx, when I called Isuzu they had them, so that must be a new thing to be backordered....ugh....
Ask forgiveness, not permission.
I ordered both size U-joints from Indy4x hoping one of them will be the one I need, and then maybe I will return the one that Isuzu had in stock if both Indy ones work. Isuzu does not list any parts for the rebuilding of the front driveshaft, I am just going to take it off and take it down to the local drivetrain shop and see what they think.
I was given a number to a must go to guy in Ogden, UT. He is supposedly the BEST in driveshaft rebuilds and guarantees his work. He may not be familiar with a VX and may need a "model" driveshaft to go off of... Tom Woods Driveshafts 877-4XSHAFT (877-497-4238). Don't know if it will help, but desperate times call for desperate measures!
Cece, whats your replacement gonna be??????? We are all curious!
Uhhhh...yeah, looks like "go to guy" might be a bit of an underststement...
