Propshaft overhaul

[Pete Reeve]

Thats was true! It was the incorrect BMW one. :corey:
I don't know if he has found same supplier as me.

Sorry skull, been rather busy....

I'll ring the supplier today, promise!

I dont sell bmw centre bearings and never have

[Pete Reeve]

Won't just be the prop running out of line due to the sag, prop will move back and forth at an incorrect rate to the gearbox and diff.

I am no expert on props, the propshaft clinic is! thats what they told me ages ago when I rocked up with bmw one i bought from Pete Reeve (never said it was not a Audi one when ordering). Clinc would not fit it. The genuine one is available whats the problem?

Terry,
Last time I had one it was around £105. hope to do better for bigger order.

I have never sold a BMW ANYTHING

[Pete Reeve]

Sorry if i didn't point out that the bracket is slightly wider than the original one fitted to the S2 now but other than that it is as o:e,so you need to trim a bit off and drill a couple of holes in the bracket and thats it. The BMW one is nothing like the Audi one,i wouldn't want it on my car its not up to the job.
I do try to help people out with the right bits and as you can't buy the Genuine Audi item unless you buy the complete shaft i really thought everyone would have found it simple to fit.

Got the bearing yesterday, thanx!

I am fairly sure they are balanced separatly. I don't see how they could be done in one piece...

Has the bearing turned up?

[Skull]

I have question...

i have a prop from the old compi i had, and it is cleand and painted...



but i didnt mark the position of the yoke on the shaft...

how bad is this? is the prop balanced as a single piece, or is each peace balanced separatly?

[GT500]

Just hang on! The damed invoice went to the new workshop and I haven't had time to get there this week..

Should be around £125 inc p&p..
I'll get a pic today so you can see its the real deal!

anyone confirm the price iof the genuine article from Rob....?

[andy10v]

Yes the quattro corner one was stiffer than the bmw one (which could be fully deflected by hand). It is not solid though, can still be deflected by hand but does not appear excessive.

Anybody who has had a new proper bearing describe how stiff it should be?

[Skull]

andy10v: is this quattro corner bearing rubber at least stronger than the bmw bearing rubber?

[s2driveruk]

Price?

[GT500]

Did you get them?

Yes!
And cheaper than bmw/quattro corner...!

You want it posting down Andy?

[AndyP]

Got them coming in the morning!

You still need one Skull?

Did you get them?

i tried that trick to remove the yoke but it started stripping the thread in the prop So i resorted to a vice and big hammer

Scary moment, maybe not such a clever idea after all.

When all else fails
