We got to know... why? Are you looking for better the OE performance? I'd hit the bone yard.

CV joint went bad.... Tore up the male end on the drive shaft.... Thought I'd possibly upgrade. After this problem, I wont go with a used one.

I would recommend a driveline shop. They can cut the old yoke out and replace it - and can build you a new one if needed.

Hey, I was faced with the same thing a year ago. I replaced myself all the U joints including the double cardon joint. after putting some time and money into it, It still wobbled so bad I couldn't leave my hubs locked in. I had a repair shop give a quote to replace a damaged part on it. at the slip joint the spline shaft was getting bad. It was cheaper for me to buy a new one at Advance Auto than to rebuild the old. It was a lot of money,(over $300) but it is lifetime warranty and it completely fixed my problem.
