My '95 w124 E320 wagon is in the shop and it looks like the U joint connecting the driveshaft is worn out. The driveshaft itself is fine, but they (mercedes-benz oem) don't seem to sell the U joint separately?
I can't afford an entire new drive shaft does anyone make just the aftermarket U joint??

Thanx

The flex discs and center support should wear out before that coupling as they are weaker, what are the symptoms?

My mercedes tech friend was under the car installing a new tranny and noticed the actual U joint had a ridiculous amount of play in it. took the car for a test drive and there is a loud "boom" clunk in the undercarriage upon acceleration.
Mbworld member Hanno (who I got the tranny from) is shipping me a driveshaft from his parted out '95 Sedan; should work in my wagon (part # is the same).

I can replace that u joint on your drive shaft.
let me know if you need it done.
