I say get the replacement on the way (and hopefully some of the above-mentioned parts :) ) and baby it till then.

I called Mitsubishi this morning to ask about getting parts in that joint and whoever I spoke to in the parts department basically said that the entire driveshaft has no serviceable parts on it aside from the carrier bearings. But I could buy a new driveshaft for $2400. Time is running out... I guess that 2-piece aluminum upgrade is looking pretty nice.

I gave up and bit the bullet.

Awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to your impressions since I've been eyeing that one up.

Yep, they only use the front section, and the other U-joints are good so he didn't care about the one joint that is having issues.
