    So, I’ve been meaning to replace my driveshaft center bearing on the QSW for a while now (read: I’ve had the parts for better than 2 months… )
    And, it looks like I need to take the center u-joint out of the shaft, so I can get to the bolt securing the yoke to the front shaft (so I can replace the bearing.)
    Problem: nobody seems to list a driveshaft u-joint for a QSW (or for, say, a 4000Q.)
    Does someone maybe have a part# (aftermarket is fine) for said u-joint? Or, can I get the shaft apart without replacing the u-joint?

    And, looking for some parts, too, if someone has spares they want to sell:
    -Driver’s sun visor, cloud white (went “puffy”, and the hinge is cracked)
    - Sunroof crank (mine’s missing the release button)
    - Stock front springs (PPO decided to do ‘lower by cutting.’)
    - Cup
    '88 Scirocco 16v, 'tastefully' modified.

    things currently broken (Scirocco): 3
    things currently broken (QSW): too many; but, slowly getting better

    So, I also asked the Syncronized list the same question (tackle it from both sides, yo!)
    And, after a bit of wierdness (which is still going on, BTW), someone offered up useful info!
    So, I post it here, to share with the group:

    He also said that it is possible to separate the driveshaft (for center bearing replacement) without blowing the center U-joint out first (not that I find it hard to replace a U-joint, though.)

    Parts-wise:
    he offered up front springs cheap. And, someone else did a hurried stripping of a QSW that was getting scrapped (don't know why), and rescued the interior bits I'm looking for from it.
