I am new to the list so first thing is to say hi!

Next, my vanagon recently picked up a vibration (on a trip back from Billings, MT I live about 150 Miles east).  I had the local VW guy look at it (mostly he just shakes his head at the syncro stuff) and he thought it was a bad front outer CV joint.  I replaced the joint but that didn't eliminate the noise.  I then started going through the mailing list archives and found that I am not the first with this problem.  I pulled out the drive shaft and drove the van with no more vibration.  I then looked at the drive shaft and found that the rear U-Joint is fused.  I am fairly confident that this was the problem.  I then went to the vanagon.com vendors list and found a listing for Davis Driveshafts in Bandon, OR that said they supplied the U-joints.  I attempted to contact them but found that their number is disconnected.  I have access to a machine shop that is willing to install the new joints and balance the shaft, I just need the joints.  Anyone with a lead on these please help!
