My drive shaft in my 03 Discovery needs replacing. Is there a shop in Atlanta that would have one in inventory, if not, any good options for finding one on line?

 

Check lucky8. If not just google it.

 

X2 on Lucky8, Eric or Justin will get you taken care of quickly and without breaking the bank.

 

Thank you. The dealer quote is 1,412.

 

I'm under the impression that a driveshaft should be around $400 or $500. Also check salvage yards. A driveshaft can handle a whole lot of miles.

What is wrong with yours?

 

Wow. You can do this yourself. That is about $1000 too much.

 

X1 ........... easy-peasy to fit yourself, 1-1.5 hours work.

 

The dealer said my U-joints are failing which based upon what I have read is a common theme.

 

Agreed. Never done it but at that price I sure can learn how too.

 

This isn't true for a D2 because of the proximity to the catalytic converters which give off a ton of heat. I would never use a junk yard unit except in a pinch.

D2 shafts have to be retrofitted with greasable u-joints (aftermarket already have them) and they have to be regreased at every oil change.
