Blazer just out of shop

[CRRoy71]

I took my Blazer to the shop to have the vibration checked in the rear end, and the slack in my steering.
The guy showed my where the u-joints had been beat out of the rear drive shaft by the previous owner, and he bent the "ears" on both ends of the drive shaft causing a lot of slack.
He said he would send my drive shaft out for rebuild, and have it back in a couple of days with all new u-joints = 350.00. So I reluctantly said go ahead and do it. There goes some of my engine money

Anyway, he called my back today and said the damage was more than they had expected and the bill was going to be around 550.00

Needless to say, I told him to put it back together and I would come get it

So know my search for a drive shaft is on.
He also told me that my steering gear box is bad, so looking for one of those also.
