Driveshaft diameter question 200 1990

Any way of telling what diameter is the driveshaft on my car? I need center support bearing, but they sell two sizes; 1.75" and 2". Do I just measure it using callipers?

TIA!

I installed a center support bearing on my '86 245 last fall. It took the larger bearing. My supplier said the smaller bearings were used on the earlier cars, around '79 or '80 or thereabouts.

In your shoes, I'd get both and return the wrong one.

Examine the foam rubber "donut" at the same time. They sometimes crumble with age.

"Do I just measure it using callipers?"

Essentially, yes -- you'd measure the ID of the bearing, which is a press fit over the machined OD of the splines.

If you're buying it locally get both and return the one you don't use. Just in case your measurement is off.
