Why does Audi say you need to replace the .....

[panzerwagen]

WHOLE DRIVESHAFT when the center bearing goes? Why do they not just suggest to replace just the bearing?
I don't understand the logic of it? What is their logic for this expensive & totally uneccesary
replacement?

more money for audi.

Last time I had this issue I had the prop shaft CV joins made custom.

just for the record the bmw centre bearing is not exactly the same as the audi one, from memory it has a differnt compound rubber,(could be wrong on what is differnt so dont shoot me) if you get your prop shaft overhauld by a "propper" no pun intended prop shaft person they wont recomend using the bmw one,

not saying it wont work, or that the sun with die if you do, only relaying what i was advised

you know like with atmospheric dump valves/ looped out wgfv's/ boost controllers etc.

The BMW bearing option has been used loads of times, i remember the audi dealer i used to work for using one on typ 85 90 q saloon, no prizes for guessing who told them it was possible
