    Okay, my friend just called and he quoted me $150 each for the u-joints (need two) but wants to look at the VX's driveshaft 'cause he thinks thats high. So, a quick online parts dig reveals that's actually about the going price and most online vendors seem to be selling them for around $90 each. It's the same part as used on the Trooper so you might call around your local discount auto parts shops and just ask for Trooper u-joints, that way you don't confound the parts counter.

    If I'm really ambitious during the maintenance we'll shoot pics and put a "how-to" on the web site.

    I have bought U-joints on Ebay for $8 shipped to my door. Keep looking and never belive the dealer. Also, if you need a front drive shaft I can sell you mine...pm me

    yes, grease the rear drive shaft and U-joints and also change out the T-case fluid as well. This has solved my clunking problems before.

    Joe: Outstanding! Thank you for the updates!

    Spazz: Thank you very much. I have yet to get back to a mechanic but will have to make an appointment to find out if I need a driveshaft replacement.
