Hey guys, I have another question for you and this might sound a little stupid but bare with me... The driveshaft (if I am not mistaken) that goes from the transmission to the rear axle, which one is it (front or rear)? I would think rear but I don't know and I really don't want to order the wrong part... Replaced the sway bar links today and found out I need this part now too. Thanks for your help!!

if its the one going to the back end it would most definitely be the rear. does the entire driveshaft need replaced or just the u-joints?

They didn't say, it is making a squeaking/clanking noise while driving above 10kmh and the whole car vibrates at about 50kmh...

How many miles on it? Does the vibration feel like its in the front or rear?

I am dealing with a vibration from the front and had my front drive shaft changed and getting front hum bearings replaced today so I will see if that fixes it.

The clanking sounds like the front, the vibrating feels like the whole car honestly...

I would pull your front driveshaft out and try it. Betting that is the problem.

I would look at the driveshaft then the hub bearings, just got mine back a little while ago and it is all better.

Good luck!!!
