I do hope you marked its orientation with each end. My A6 had to have different prop sourced as my prop place could not stop it from shaking under load. Next prop with same new centre bearing no shake.

The C4 has a different center bearing. You can find all applications for Audis here:

For the CVs and boots, for B2/B3/B4s, the part number is #2552-1001. This page shows the applications for this part number. Scroll to the bottom to show just the component parts of, CVs and boots.

Rob, does GKN produce the bearings that you are able to source?
GKN builds the propshafts just in case anyone was wondering.
I've been curious of the Powertrain Industries stuff ever since I saw their site a couple of years ago so I decided that I would ring them up earlier last week. I asked the big question which was who produces the parts that you sell? The response was that we do. . OK so I decided that the only way to ever know was to go ahead and order one center bearing to find out. The bearing I ordered arrived in a Powertrain Industries box with a small made in Taiwan sticker on the outside. I had hoped for a US or German label, but I know that the Taiwanese turn out some decent bearing so not too worried about that. Time will tell.
So I received the bearing a couple of days later and of course ran to the garage to finish up my propshaft.
The correct propshaft center support bearing for the B4 chassis cars is 2580-40....not the 2580-10. On to the pictures......
Some PI bearing vs. original pictures.
Installed on the propshaft.
The completed propshaft. Some grease and she's ready to install.

Not sure what the coupe uses. Do you have a picture of one?
The PI bearing cost me 107USD +shipping.
It probably uses the same bearing as the B2. I used the factory BMW bearing #26-12-1-209-532 which is the same as the PI 2580-10 on my B2.Last edited by saltinot; 15 September 2014, 16:31.

As far as a place in Europe goes there is a shop in Switzerland that sell an equivalent. Porci bought a center support for his RS2 from them. http://reno-cardan.ch/

After a full suspension rebuild on the S4 and a 12 litre oil change on the misses V10 I pushed the RS2 out of the spot it has been sitting in for several months. It is time to get on with it. It's been on my mind for a while now and I knew it was time when things started collecting on the bonnet and roof. So with a little assistance from the wee ones, they took care of placing the wooded chocks while I pushed, I moved "daddy's blue car" into the lift bay on the other end of the garage. You know it has been a while since it was touched when you start coughing from the dust when you disturb the cover.
Over the last few months I have been able to line up some parts to get this project a little further down the road. The first big thing is to get her in the air and install the fuel tank. After that comes the drive line. A few shiny bit like that rebuilt prop shaft and half shafts I did months ago. Hehe. Oh, I need to get the glass guy over too.
