Front propeller shaft for 42 MB

Post by GSS » Sat Sep 23, 2017 7:00 pm

Friends,
I am looking for a NOS, or excellent condition used, front driveshaft. The splines on mine have a lot of slop. Please let me know if anyone has one to sell, and price including shipping to MN. Thanks.

Also, does anyone have experience with the new ones being sold by a few vendors? Thanks.

Best regards,

GSS

Trusting that the slip yokes are correct, measuring from the center of the two welds on the end of the tube will minimize erroneous measurements.

Thank you for checking. I think it is supposed to be 21, 11/16” from U-joint center to U-joint center with the flange fully compressed.
