I would but the thing is I dont want to spend 200+ on solving the problem, Theres got to be a cheaper solution.. so far all ive come up with is buying a used one.

If you CAN'T AFFORD THE CAR, SELL IT. Seriously, $200 to fix something correctly is chump change with these cars, fair warning.

Nice suggestion, I can afford it just fine though.
A one piece shaft is going to cost me alot more than you might think, I would have to pay border fees and shipping, the exchange rate adds a bit to the total aswell, looking at about $600 said and done. I could get one done locally at around the same cost, not into that.
$250 for the bearing is alot for what it is, just like the 10" long molded PCV hose I bought from Toyota was alot for what it is. I have a line on a used one so I think im ok for now, Il keep my eye on ebay for one though.
I honestly agree on the price for what it is, I'm sure they can make something that lasts way longer and is more durable for a better price than that.

The fact that there's pretty much no aftermarket available bothers me, theres no autozone's here so id have to order online its going to be 200+ no matter what I do.
They do last a long time, mine had about 235 000km's on it when the play started to get noticeable, now its really bad at 239 000km but you would think they would have it for a little less than $280 or whatever it is.
if i change up a gear and floor it in my na manual i can feel a clunk from beneath my seat. is this the bearing failing on my car?

because a 2 piece won't whip right..... Fail!
If a driveshaft fails no matter 1 or 2 piece....your car is fubar! Unless it's carbon fiber.....
This is why even the factory ds has a safety bar in the tunnel...

I'm not getting into this argument, as it's been covered countless times here on SM, but are you implying that a 2 piece DS will whip as much as a one piece?
Take a long piece of pasta, throw it in some boiling water. Now take it out and do the jumprope with it. Now do the same with a piece of past half that size. There's a substantial difference. Pardon the crude analogy. The longer the driveshaft, the more of a whipping you will get.
Driveshaft loops FTW.

AUTOZONE DOES HAVE A CENTER SUPPORT BEARING THAT WILL WORK FINE FOR $39.99! PART #A6002*available only online from what I can tell. The part# is A6002.
If the link fails look it up on their websit with this part number
Autozone website must reassign these links because the one I left in post #6 was good at the time (I checked after posting), but was no longer correct when I went back to check just now.
I replaced it with a currently good link but I suspect it will change. http://www.autozone.com/N,11200063//...eResultSet.htm

YES
Get a used from a junkyard with good rubber in it for 5$ or get a one piece DS and be done with it.

No not argueing a 1 piece won't whip more....but if either one whips your fucked....maybe less fucked with a 2 piece but fucked none the less!
And if a two piece breaks at the diff or trans and does "whip" I'm not convinced the center support bearing will hold it....once or "if" it let's go, your fucked as much as a 1 piece..."atleast this is how I see it in my head"
I personally would rather have a leightweight alum ds whip than the back or front half of the factory ds whip....for some reason I think damage would be less.
