Re: Evo 8 driveshaft clunking

+1 for getting another vehicle. Scheides says you don't need one, but he must forget that he in fact has a 2nd vehicle he has access to when his breaks (his wifes VW) . When you are single, and you mod your only car, and it breaks, you are eff'd.

Interested in a 06 Saab?

Good luck with the driveshaft. Wonder if there's anyone semi-local that has a used one for sale.

This is more what I was getting at, but yes I do have a spare set of wheels in dire circumstance.

Dizzle, I couldn't quite see the tear in the boot, did you hit something that caused it to go out, or maybe just this cold snap finally taking its toll on some of the lubrication in there.

When you put the new one in, pick up beatrush solid aluminum bushings, you'll be shocked how shitty the stock bushings are when you take it apart. LMK if you need a garage and a hand fixing this; I lent out my heaters to a buddy but could prolly get them back w/o too much trouble.

This is facing the rear so I doubt something hit it. Where would you order Beatrush stuff from?
