Are you looking for one of the four half shafts or the drive shaft that sends the power from the transmission to the rear differential?

I was going to ask the same question. The half shafts (CV axles) can be had for fair prices at parts stores with lifetime warranties in most cases.

as for the actual drive shaft heading to the rear differential, cheapest option would probably be a junkyard to be honest. i suspect those are a bit pricy.

That was my thought too. If the drive shaft just needs bearings then the bearings are available, but if the drive shaft has been damaged a junk yard or a drive shaft specialist would be in order.

I wonder if the 09+ Vibe/Matrix AWD cars have the same shaft, considering they have the same suspension parts and wheel base. I think they build more AWD 09+ cars.

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the 09+ drive shaft was the same as the 03-06 AWD. I should put mom's 05 AWD and dad's 09 AWD on the lift and look.

Sorry for being absent,

It was for my mother's car, and they needed it fixed sooner rather than later so we just ordered one from the local autozone and it arrived yesterday. Thank you for you help.

still unsure if you meant the actual drive shaft, or the CV half shafts. :lol:
