Dealership wants $1,000 to replace front driveshaft
#16
I didn't compose the post properly. My words were addressed to this post...MJAldridge6 has an AWD G35 and I interpret "front driveshaft" to mean the axle halfshaft. Is this not right? Maybe I conflated two or more questions and need another cup of coffee!

I have an '04 G35x that needs a front driveshaft. Dealerships quotes me $800 for the part and $200 labor. Does this sound right?? I did a quick search and found one on eBay for like $125 plus $35 shipping.. If anyone knows a reliable place to buy just the front driveshaft on an 2004 AWD G35 please let me know. Thanks.
I too had the famous front drive shaft problem. Very common on these cars from all the information I have found. Picked up a brand new very solid after market shaft for only $359.00. The service manager at the dealer that installed it was beside himself with how much better the quality is than the original. Not to mention it is serviceable!!! due to being built with replaceable u joints. Something the original did not have and I felt it was dumb to install another drive shaft that I could not service.
Drive shaft is built in the US to be a heavy duty OEM direct fit replacement. The drive shaft is built to manufacturer specs and superior quality than the original. And at less than half the price, its a no brainer!. Even the service manager was very pleased we came across this product and now offers it to his customer as an alternative to the original. Needless to say that at that price, and being that its serviceable, he sells a lot of them. Highly recommend this product and the company I bought it from was a pleasure to deal with.

Not saying you are wrong, just not seeing a whole lot of info on what the failure and symptoms are
