Bent Rear Driveshaft

Best thing would be to have a new section made ...any driveshaft shop can handle this..Itll need rebalancend as well and they need both pieces to do that

x2 on this , look up drive shaft shops or call local BIG truck parts stores or repair places and ask who is doing drive shafts in your area .

i am lucky and have a good place here in town . same guy behind the counter or over 10 years .

Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess I was looking more for "mail-order." I have had trouble in the past finding help on stuff like this in the New Orleans area (i.e. "reliable ____ shop")
I found a shop yesterday afternoon that can re-tube and balance so I'm going to give them a shot.

Tom Wood website says they DO NOT build and balance carrier bearing 2-piece shafts.

High Angle Driveline gave me a ballpark number that is significantly more than the rebuild estimate I got at the local shop, not surprised, but it is a good sanity check.

I was gonna recommend Tom Wood's, but it sounds like you tried that.
