I just took a chance at buying a set from ebay...Th guy says that they can be replaced, but the originals are "staked" in. We will see what happens.
Are your's singing like mine have started to do? Otherwise, a Drive Shaft shop, or buy a new full assembly of the shaft.
My local dealer says he can get the whole assembly, but it's over $500

like you hear it after like ten minutes driving, is like a shaking thing. yeah. my cousin will check it. he said they can be taken out. i hope they are. im not spending 500 bucks for that. i rather save up a lot and swap it to stick. right now i just want it to drive properlly

If the 94 Lsi are the same, I have them. Make offer.

Can anyone clarify whether or not these can be replaced, with a little talent????? I know the issue would be RPM balance, so I'm not forgetting that part.

U CAN GET THEM from advance auto. they are approx 30 bux a piece. I would not recommend doing them without a shop press. It will take you hours to get that thing out unless u cut with something. have a great day

im not sure, im new in the subaru world actually.

cool, do u know how many of them i will need for the svx?

Re: need u joints for driveshaft
 

From the schematic I believe there are 3 in total. 2 on the front shaft and 1 on the rear.

They are staked in, you can replace them but usually only once maybe twice, then you run out of metal to stake, and you replace the shaft. Try and find one in a junkyard, chances are it'll be good, that's what I did when my front U-Joint took a dump in my SVX.

right now im just going to change the u joints. im saving for my 6sp swap right now

Re: need u joints for driveshaft
 

I had a shop rebuild mine. They cut and replaced the yokes so that a universal U-joint with a grease fitting could be installed. A balance was also needed after this type of work. It ran about $300 total.

Only 2. One at the Spindle end, and one on the Differential end..
The Bearing in the middle does not use a joint on either side of it.
