it isnt your crank, i believe you mean Driveshaft(same thing blah), but i replaced the Center Bearing, it is a bitch to fix, especially if you dont get a new driveshaft, you have to balance everything yourself.

took us a good weekend or so to do it, cuz you gotta take the entire exhaust system down, then all the heatshields, and its a pain, and its hard as hell to torque the bolts that go into the guibo, and its A BITCH to tighten the nuts to the headers.

sucks man, might wanna think about another car, unless you are willing to put the time into it.
