I've been offering the Syncro driveshaft rebuild for some time now. 
Check the archives.  I do not get too many customers sending their driveshaft 
up here due to the cost of shipping and that it's pretty easy to change them 
yourself if you have a large bench vise.  But, I do most of the local ones.  
You can get good quality greaseable driveshaft U-joints from most any Flaps 
or from me if you cannot find them, my cost is below as is the part # to look 
for.  You need the 90 degree grease fittings as the ones that come with the 
U-joints will not work in the tight restrictions of the yokes on the Syncro 
application.  You also need to grind off the nut on the grease fittings and 
run the thread all the way up the shaft with a thread die so the grease 
fitting will set low enough to clear the yoke.  You need the special needle 
grease gun adapter to grease them with afterwards.  I am not able to supply 
the rubber dampers that Ken Wilfors at Van Again has available so you must 
get them from him.  In fact I did not know anyone had them available until I 
read his message to the List.
       2    NEAPCO 1-0321  U-joints, UAP              @ $45. ea      $90.00
     2  grease fittings, 90 degree, special, UAP    @ $2.50 ea           5.00

       Yes, prices are in Canadian Dollars !  Check my address !!
