WTB B5 S4 manual drive shaft

[ShooterMcgavin]

My drive shaft is clunking and thumping like a mofo and I'm trying to find a used one before going the rebuild route.

Needs to be from a manual B5 S4, also heard C5 A6 and Allroads should work as well.

Let me know what you've got!

Thanks,

I'm not totally sure if it's only the center support bearing, it might need new CVs as well. I figure for the price of a new center support I might as well find a used complete replacement shaft.

How much of a hassle was it to take apart the drive shaft to replace the bearing?

034 makes a 1 piece driveshaft for 8/900$ i think.
I had my DS out in 30 min, took us half a day to figure out how to split it but once we figured out how to do it, was about an 1hour or less of work time and was really quick to get it back in the car.
