Hi, I recently bought an S6 from a mate, which had a suspected gearbox problem (that I knew about!) - slight and occasional clonking when pulling away, occasional vibration from under the car. The local independent guy I took the car to for a checkover has ID'd the propshaft support bearing as being the culprit.
This bearing is bonded to the propshaft via a rubber bush. Does anyone have any experience of refurbishing propshafts like this? There are dozens of companies doing work like this, I just wondered if anyone knows a company that they would recommend.
The standard Audi part is £1100 plus fitting - I'm sure the bearing would only be a couple of hundred, plus refurbishing charge.
I'm at Camberley so nearby geographical location would be helpful but shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks - for any guidance at all on this!

Re: S6 propshaft - refurb-shers?
Just did a proper search across all fora and found the probable answer on the RS6/C5 board.
Seems at least one kit is available from the US - will follow it up and post back.
Still grateful for help from anybody who has been down this route - no point reinventing the wheel and all that!

Looked on ebay? There's 2x S6's being broken for spares at the moment.

Thanks guys, had a look on fleaBay and there's a nice low-mileage one ready to go... job done!!
Really appreciate the ready responses, spend most of my money in the motorbike world and eBay is not a place I naturally turn to for bits, so thanks also for broadening my vision on that front
Loving the car after a lifetime of sensible stuff... mate casually mentioned a trackda at Brands, sounds like a good place to start to fully use that amazing engine )
