Default Broken Driveshaft

I have a Coast 1310 Driveshaft that broke from the u-joint and driveshaft yoke rear. Do I need to replace the whole driveshaft? I can only find the ujoint and cant seem to find the driveshaft yoke. Is there something I'm missing?

Can you post a picture? All parts are very readily available, they are all standard parts. Check out Dennys driveshaft.

Most driveshaft companies just buy spicer and neapco parts and put them together.

I think you're gonna have to buy a whole new shaft unless Coast will allow you to mail that back in so they can install a new *sub-assembly that slips in and out and re-balance.....

While I'm sure they can fix it if you send it back, it wouldn't be very economical and it's not really needed. Any driveline shop should be able to grind the weld and attach a new ear on. It shouldn't be far off of around $75 or so..

That makes sense also but I was figuring if you at least sent it back to the original mfg then I'd assume they'd reinstate a new warranty. For Coast I think it's 1 year.

You have plenty of local shops that can toss it back together.

If you're looking to upgrade, I would recommend you considering having one built with the teraflex high angle rezeppas on each end. I for one, have had nothing but problems with my double cardan.

I think there's a company that does that now. Can't remember who though. Twaton driveshafts or something
