Default Where is the best place to buy a rebuilt front driveshaft

Can anyone suggest the best vendor for a rebuilt drive shaft. Don't need anything heavy duty,....not likely I will be doing any extreme off roading. So, just looking for the best price on a quality rebuilt front shaft.

Dunno about rebuilt, but you can get a brand new OEM style front drive shaft with zerk fitting as low as 120.00 on Ebay. I've installed several and zero complaints yet. Also Lucky8 as mentioned above.

All depends on the seller I agree. I’ve used two for front shafts so far, and I had one show up poking out of the box. I took a pic, sent them an email, got a replacement sent out ASAP with a return shipping label. The one poking out of the box had a bunch of scratches and I did not trust if for a customers vehicle.

I ordered a new LR coolant reservoir from ebay and never heard back from them when it was damaged. I made a claim & got my $$ back eventually....

It varies for sure!

Thanks guys. Lucky 8 it is. Wish I had known they were so cheap. I rebuilt both shafts on a prior D2,.....for all the aggravation,...I should have just bought them from Lucky 8.
