    Rear Propeller Shaft / u joint failure

    I know it works. My mechanic moved it in and out of the shop that way while I waited for the driveshaft shop to finish up. Oh by the way I had them replace the busted up u joint by cutting the yoke and rewelding it. They do it all the time. So what Angevaare Mazda in Peterborough told me would...

    AWD- Rear Diff subframe bushings

    Also take the drive shaft to a drive shaft specialist they can fix it. Mine is about 150. Much better then a new shaft at $12-1600 Sent from my SM-N900W8 using Tapatalk

    Rear Propeller Shaft / u joint failure

    Does anyone know if you can separate the rear propeller shaft from the middle shaft. Or better yet if the u joints are replaceable. My other thought was to remve the entire shaft and use it as front wheel drive. Anyone done this? Sent from my SM-T110 using Tapatalk

Unlike you I hate this vehicle in the year I've owned it it has cost us about 2500 dollars. Sticking with Honda now Sent...

    AWD- Rear Diff subframe bushings

    Mine started with vibration during deceleration and braking. Took it to the dealer and found out the u joint was gone which caused stress on the bushings and the seals too. This vehicle has been a nightmare. 3 wheelbearings, the throttle body, and now this. All within 1 year of ownership. Sent...
