About how much is a new driveshaft? I was thinking about getting custom ones made so I can change u joint and grease them.
Not sure... i'll look into it after i get my trans back together.

I just replaced my front drive shaft. With Military discount I paid roughly $260.

While browsing Rokmen's site looking at LJ Ideas I saw they had a replacement Tom Woods driveshaft for the XK/WK...I'm Sure the Steel Armadillo could line up the same Item?

The XK front drive shaft is flanged on both ends. I'm almost positive that drive shaft won't work unless that's not an actual photo.

must be a generic photo? Seeing how they all pull up the same photo. But I'm sure Tom woods is able to make a replacement

Hmm I wish I knew this prior to ordering a new one from the dealer. I'll give them a call tomorrow.
