So the u-joints on my 2006 rav4 3.5 ltd have stiffened up and i've found as have others that this is a non serviceable u joint. New Toy shaft is over 900. These guys Toyota RAV4 Drive Shaft - Wholesale Import Parts are at 678, and i found used online for 250+/-. I'm at 120000 miles. Anyone care to share an opinion on the advisability of going with used over remanufactured/aftermarket? I'm broke and have be as tight as i can possibly be, but i gotta have wheels to go to work and make money to fix the car! Thanks for any and all feedback.

Here's what others have done:

Seems like a driveline shop can remove old and replace them with new serviceable u joints for about the same as the used driveshaft.

You can also just remove the drive shaft and run it as front wheel drive til you can afford the fix...

A local driveline shop here will replace the ujoints for $95 a ujoint
