Saved him $500-1000 that another shop would have probably charged him for if they convinced him to replace the CSB or worse if they recommend a new driveshaft.

Needless to say, he was happy.
No such luck for me.

About had the CSB replaced yesterday, rubber looked good. Tightened the nut and the noise still persisted. I'm under the impression I'll need to replace the driveshaft if I want to get rid of the noise. Good news is there are options are they're not crazy expensive. The labor is almost as much as the part depending on which route (part) you go.
