I did have issues with centre bearings a few years back....Went through 3 in 4 years....I took the shaft to a drive shaft specialist and they changed the front section where the uni goes in as it was damaged, had to shorten it slightly as I have a Toyota gearbox behind a 6 and re-balanced it....
Most tailshafts in these cars have spacers inbetween the centre bearing mounting bracket and the floor pan, to make sure the tailshaft is level with the gearbox extension housing...Mine had those missing, but have since been fitted....My car is also 2" lowered than stock....
So after 2 1/2 years, making sure the tailshaft is level with these spacers and having it re-balanced, I have no vibrations and the centre bearing has held up....So definately worth looking at yourself
Spot on, the IRS/SOLID AXLE diff mount/label and spacers were missing, I had all this fixed and the spacers put back in, it just lasts longer now than previously. I went through all these forums and found the correct way it was all meant to be
Any chance anyone knows the absolute correct way it should be?
