Ok so im being a post whore today but I have an Idea. My rear drive shaft has pretty much torn itself apart within the last 3 weeks or so, all because of lost needle bearings out of the centering ball at the cv joint. I am having a new rear driveshatf built as soon as I can (next weekish) but she is my daily driver. It has horrible vibes and sounds from that damn centering ball. It has RE's 1801 sye and and the spicer flange mated to a modified front shaft, I was wondering if I can just sawzall off the middle peice that houses the centering ball?? I would still have full circle clips and everything just no centering ball. Would this alieve the vibes until I can get a new shaft built? The only other option I can think of is pulling my front ds and taking the needle bearings out of its centering ball and loading them into the one in the rear shaft? I need some advice as I have tommarrow off then a 20 mile treck to work on thursday with no other ride/transportation. Thanks for any help you can give me!
