Core values

[carlsun]

Does an alternator or a V70XC driveshaft to rear axle have any core or other value? I replaced the alternator without a core. I removed the driveshaft because it had gone too long without maintenance and was causing some vibration. I'm not interested in spending $600 to replace the two U joints in the driveshaft, so now the car is front wheel drive only.

Junk 'em or what other suggestions are there?

Thanks!

rebuild your alternator and have a spare

There is definite value in the drive shaft core. I paid $100.00 for a bad one at the junk yard so that I can eventually send it off to Colorado to get it re-built. That was less that the core charge at Colorado Drive shafts.
