Dealer parts counter, you mean? This is not a Cheby or a Furd.

Got FSM?

Of course your '95 Q45 has U joints. Tell the person who's helping you to look for them under the drive shaft section of his parts catalog for the Q45.

:welcome: to NICO!

The u-joints aren't normally replaced separately... they come as part of the drive shaft assembly. I would look toward the transmission mount (third motor mount) and exhaust hangers in that area for your noise.
