There is an outfit in California that will rebuild them for $700 or so. Get a used one, they run about $100. The joint CAN be replaced, but you need the proper jig to strake it in place and you have to find someone who can balance an MB driveshaft, quite the trick I've discovered. ] Don't try to replace it yourself -- BTDT, it shakes like crazy.
