Propshaft overhaul

[Skull]

GT500: do you have paypal?

[GT500]

Maybe, but of all the hundreds of quattros now running the BMW part, ive never heard or read about one fail.

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 would be interested Rob - add me to the list

I have the bmw one on and i have a bad warble at about 90ish (great physical speed limiter when you arent sure if its going to part company and join you in the cabin )

I am sure if you get it true then it will be fine but if the price is good I'll get the BMW (i prefer to call it a Febi/bilstein centre mount btw ) off the car

The non-oem part only had adjustment on one arm and as a result depending on the individual car, it will depend if its in spec without issue or not. Convinced mine is slightly off centre and/or the rear diff but not had the time to get the car off the ground again to sort it.

Not necessarily, all the info and fitting details for the BMW part are on the 20v.org site. I dont know exactly how long its been on there but i saw it when i first got my S2 so thats 6 years ago for starters. Im sure thats long enough for testing.

its still earlyish day though, OEM ones last 15 years or more - the one that came off my CQ at 171k was still ok, but i wouldn't put it back on again

[martinjs]

Main thing is its too soft.

[terrybullwon]

rough price please rob

[GT500]

Its for a bmw. Not an Audi. They are all different.
Main thing is its too soft.

+ why have the wrong when the right one is available...

[s2_bo]

Why is the Febi/bilstein one bmw use not as good? They look spot on to me apart from the thinner mounting bracket.

Very interested in new OEM one too Rob, how are much would they be roughly mate?

[K Simmonds]

Yes thats them but, they have fallen out with the supplier!
I now deal direct with supplier!
Lets have a show of hands as to who wants one.. If I do run a group buy I DO NOT want dissapearing berks that order one then never pay!

I brought in 18 windscreens for the mustang owners club forum members. Four never paid! Not good when they were £150 each!

Names please:

K Simmonds. Very interested in a new OEM prop bearing, how much are they costing??
