Anyone have any experience with aftermarket support bearings and rubber support ring? FCP Groton has some good prices on them and the budget is a little tight right now.

Sorry to start a new thread, just thought it would help if someone were to do a search in the future on aftermarket parts.

    I just replaced my bearing & the rubber center support bushing (donut) over the weekend in my 89' 240 sedan. Bought the kit from FCP Euro, I don't recall if they had more than 1 option. I think it was Febi if I recall correctly. Note that it can be done by just removing the front part of the drive shaft, I didn't disconnect the aft part of the shaft - just left it supported on a jack stand. I've only put about 15 to 20 mi on the car since repair but all seems good. I did however also replace the bolts & nuts connecting the drive shaft to the transmission since they are supposed to be single use.

      Good that your search turned up a thread I'm in. :)

      Anyhow, the parts I installed must be OK since I haven't heard a peep out of them since '08, or most accurately, I've never needed to change a driveshaft bearing I changed before.

      Also cool you followed the advice on single use fasteners I usually ignore.

    Hi Justin,

    I've used one of both sizes, packed by Scan Tech. They looked good, fit well, and the smaller one put on my 79 has a couple thousand miles on it now without complaining. The one I just put on an 89 seems fine, but has zero miles on it.

    I guess I can't tell you how long they last, because I don't drive enough.

    Ahh, here comes the UPS man now, with more parts from all over the world.
