Sounds right. I go through this with my police cruiser every now and then.
But there's always more to it than just selling parts. It may be that designing a way to do it that is serviceable would cost more than it's worth for them, or it could be that the part gets so beat up that when itgoes, you need to replace the whole shaft.
Or, most likely, it's a safety factor.
They can't risk the cost of lawsuits if it's not repaired correctly, and fails.
Ever see someone lose a two pice shaft?
Or a straight shaft come loose at the rear?
I't wild! Seen a car flip at the track once...no driveshaft loop.
