I imagine the problem is vibration under load?

 

The bearing seldom goes bad but the rubber surround does rot away. For $300 you could buy a whole new drive shaft. The replacement kit is much less... if you can find one.

 

Take it to another shop, they will likely tell you a different story.

 

 

 Probably this rubber isolation doughnut...

Or do you mean the U joint? There are three of them about $30 each.

Either way $300 sounds about right if you go that route...

Thats what it cost me for a full recondition of my 521 driveshaft..

Labor, 3 ujoints, new carrier bearing,and balanced....

they should be balancing it too for that price...

Side note if you have to separate the driveshaft at all after balance it has to go back together the same way it was balanced
