W203 rock crusher

Just had my wife's C240 4matic towed home. She called to say she broke down, car won't move. Got down there, but nothing could have prepared me for the noise I heard. I'm going to look under there tomorrow morning, but it sounds a lot like my 68 International Scout when the transfer case blew up. Literally, it sounds like a rock crusher. I'm afraid to look.

Front drive shaft U-joint blew up. Took out the O2 sensor with it. Anyone here ever tried to replace just the U-joint, rather than the entire axle?

Yeah, they are staked in rather than secured with clips. $790 from AutohauzAZ or $336 from DriveShaft Power.
