most local motor factors should source this for you?

May be worth phoning the breakers yards rather than just search online.

you would think so, but not one can source for a 2010 model onwards. i have tried every major factor, every known (to me) manufacturer and everyone refers it back to volvo themselves.
i cant even locate either of the CV joints.
centre bearing is no problem, and older models/manual is fine, but newish automatics are a no go.
ill let you know how the reconditioned one goes and the turnaround times.
thanks again.

Since it's a 2.4i, you could try searching on Canada/USA Volvo parts sites ... just saying.

Google "Breakeryard".

your right, i did try swedishautoparts.com, but so far i cant tie the model down, i tried using my vin number, but the USA site does not recognise it, i will keep trying.
to those who have suggested breaker yards, not only can i not locate 1 model anywhere, i would be very wary of buying a driveshaft from a "scrapper" as it must have sustained accident damage for a 2010 onwards to be in a breakers yard. the words buyer beware come to mind.
i would only be happy with new or reconditioned.

well Guru lives up to his name i have to say, i located the parts from the States, with a match on the OEM part numbers, and including shipping it came to a third of the dealer cost, im just hoping i dont get stung too much at customs (charges)
