Thanks Bernie, that's good info, even if the outcome is not what I wanted to hear...
However, and I'll look like an idiot again, but the propshaft/driveshaft is still fine. The problem was a backing plate that rubbed very lightly on a rusted front disc edge. Duh ! My diagnostic skills are a little rusted too, I bet...
So for now, I'm good. But for those who had to replace the driveshaft, what was the cause of the failure ? Center support bearings or u-joints or one of the CV joints at either ends ? What can we do to prevent failure on a "sealed fo life" propshaft like this one ?
The only thing I can see is to repack all joints/bearings with new grease, if this is even possible without destroying them in the process...
