HOLD ON! I went back and re-read the original post and my British to English translator has failed me. Instead of reading (American) Driveshaft, I read (British) Driveshaft which is the axle in US terminology.
That said, I am now guessing that he is talking about the normal CV-Joint that is stock on the later 1500 models. That one to my knowledge is not replaceable as I previously described. If it were me and I had problems with that end, I would go ahead and have a driveline shop replace the CV-Joint with another U-Joint yolk and properly balance the unit. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'd guess he has the standard driveshaft found on all the Spits of that vintage. There is no rubber boot, but I seem to recall that there is a threaded collar one can coax off and apply grease to the joint. It has been a while since I've worked on one, most of my recent experience is with just the 2 U-joint shafts. mjb.
