Hey guys, just after some info. have been told I have to replace the front universal in the front driveshaft, is this a serviceable part? Or do I need to replace the whole shaft?

Was no colder then normal on this morning. i did suspect that was the fuel smell but thought it was worth mentioning. yes aftermarket wheels. Same size all round.

Hey guys. So I’ve recently brought a 2001 m35 with the vq25det. And slowly a few issues are appearing. first off. This morning when I went to start it, it just wound over for a lot longer then usual. Then once started it smelt strongly of petrol. Any ideas? Had started and run fin since. 2nd. I have a shudder in the driveline. I have read a bit on here and think it may be the driveshaft uni to the front. My question is, would this cause, a shudder when reversing and turning but not when in a straight line, a shudder under heavy acceleration, and a very slight shudder at around 100km/ph which goes away if I touch the gas. I also noticed that the front Torque gauge bounced with the shudder. im unsure if shudders the right description or more of a rhythmic binding of something. I also have a groan that sounds like wheel bearing but they all appear fine, could this be related? sorry for the massive post but have researched about as much as I can already, all help and advise is appreciated massively!
