Driveshaft support bearing and bushing 900

posted by  someone claiming to be rwreagan on  Sun Mar 31 06:19 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Julio,

I just finished this procedure. Look at the postings under the title "960 Driveshaft shudder 𖛼]󞩺]" on this board dated March 24. There's lots of information you'll need concerning marking the parts to make sure they go back exactly as they came off (including flange bolts - they're not all the same size!). Also the alignment of the two shafts is critical to prevent shudder. There's even a reference to a TSB on this same topic.

There is a setscrew holding the two shafts together - take this out. Be sure to mark everything, including the overall length of the shaft for reassembly. The bearing itself was a bear to get off the shaft. I took mine to a driveshaft guy who used a hammer and old screwdriver to drive the inner race of the bearing off the shaft. Took him almost an hour to replace the bearing and support.

In my case, I'm not sure I even needed to change the support or bearing. Seems like it may have been just an alignment problem per the TSB.

By the way, www.importpartsspec.com had the bearing and support for a fraction of the dealer cost.
