I was just wondering if anyone on here has had to replace their drive shaft on their MX-3. <BR>Mine is going and I have to start getting prices on the job, so if anyone has had it done, could you please let me know how much it cost you.<BR>Thanx,

hey, yeah I did mine the week after I bought it. And the ones I replaced them with were bad "re-manns" so I had to get news ones from the place I bought them from a week later! Do you have to replace both sides or just one? I found that it was cheaper to replace the entire shaft and not just the CV joint. YOu can pick up "re-manufactured" ones from your local auto store. The ones I bought ran me i think around 70 each after core return. I would recommend that you install or if you have someone that knows how to install do the installation because shops will charge you an arm and a leg to do the job, somewhere around 500 dollars. Let me know how it goes. Goodluck

Had both mine done before the meet. $125/side plus taxes installed! KVR performance in Ottawa though.

i just did mine this weekend, $100 per side after the core charge of $75, but i did the installation myself

I have already replaced both of my CV joints so the driveshaft is all I have left to do. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.

I had my passenger and driver side CV joints replaced, and the "clicking" sound is gone. However there is a "creaking" noise when I turn at low speeds (in parking lots for example) I have been told that it is my "driveshaft" but could it possibly be something else?

If you can get up to keel and HWY 7 area just come by my shop and let me listen to the noise.<P>The drive shaft is the same thing as the CV/joint or CV shaft. <P>Give me a call and we can set up a time to fix your problem.<P>(905)-738-2333 days 8:00 to 6:00<BR>(905)-265-9813 nights 7:00 to 11:00<BR>ask for Curt.<P>If you do need new axles I can sell them to you at my cost.$85.00 each. No charge installation. But lets see what it is first, just to make sure.

Thanx so much, I appreciate it. I'll see you tomorrow.

The upper strut bearing is $11.00.<P>My shop is 2 lights east of keel on HWY 7.<P>There is a McDonalds on the corner.<P>The shop is One Stop Auto and is behind the McDonalds.<P>See you Sunday at 3:00 P.M.
