You can replace just the center bearing, or you can go with a one piece driveshaft. Many people have had good luck with Z1's one piece drive shafts.

They're good, if you have the money I've been very happy with my Powertrain Aluminum driveshaft from http://www.ImportPartsPro.com as well.

I bought a used Z1 DS for 180. I think. Anyhow, it's working fine. Vibrates a little more at high speed (>80) but it's no big deal to me
