sprinter u-joints

[danthewolf00]

i love my sprinter but **** $1200.00 just to change the rear u-joint grrrr see they pressed the joint in then crimp the ends instead of putting a clip in why because it saves them $$$$$ and makes them $$$ after all. so i had to order the whole rear drive shaft just to get one stinking u-joint fixed.

Dan,

I dunno if we went over this already ....... but ......

What was wrong that it required replacement ?

Was this done as warranty work ?

If not, was there some reason you didn't go to a driveline shop and have them modify the driveshaft to take replaceable u-joints ?
