Now to those that have swapped their drive shaft in the past, how long before it failed again with the original T-case? Or are yours still working to this day. I opted to go this route with a new T-case because the new T-case are (they suggest brand new) is damn expensive and and would cost me near $4k. If I was going to go that route, I might as well find another X5.
