Just wondering... should you replace the other side too (so you have two new sides)? Or, with a driveshaft do you only need to replace the broken one?

Any chance you might have photos of these incidents? You know, ones of Mike with something funny sticking out of his nose or the interesting hats that he seems to wear from time to time? Mike, if I wasnt in Dubai or India this week would come over and lend a hand!  Joe A
