wow you had to replace the entire driveshaft. First thats pretty rare. What did they exactly say was the problem. And damn thats the best price they could give you.

I had a problem in my talon and the wheel bearing was bad. Then it was fused to the driveshaft. Then they couldnt get the ABS sensor off the driveshaft. So i ended up needing a driveshaft, wheel bearing, and new ABS sensor...total was $750

Apparently the bearings in it went, and its a "sealed unit" meaning: get the vasoline, its gonna be rough, lol.

Well if its just a wheel bearing you shouldnt need a new driveshaft. Maybe its just something different with volvo's
