Worn Out Propshaft - Options?

[Cyrix]

The front joint on my propshaft has quite a lot of play in it, hopefully this is where the vibration I am getting is coming from.

The problem is it doesn't look like you can buy the joints individually. Has anyone had to have one replaced? if so how and with what?

Cheers

Your post doesn't specifiy, but I'm presuming your car is a quattro. What form does the vibration take and when does it occur? I ask because every quattro I have ever has has suffered alittle bit of judder and vibration when pulling away from a standstill on full steering lock. It's quite normal. It can be minimised by changing the tyres and ensuring wheel alignment is spot on.,

Yep, it's a Quattro, I know the juddering you mean and expect it on any car that uses a proper mechanical awd system.

The front joint on the propshaft has a fair bit of side to side play, compared to the same joint on the diff end of the prop, it's not listed individually in ETKA hence the question.
