Carrier bearing for drive shaft

Post by Stiggles » Thu Nov 09, 2017 1:50 pm

Good afternoon folks

I have currently got my driveshaft off the car, as the bearing has disintegrated like many before.

It's with a specialist at present, however they have only replaced touraegs bearings, and don't know if they'll be able to get a correct replacement part.

Could anyone point me in the best direction regarding a good quality replacement bearing? I see some on eBay for £50 and driveshaftparts.co.uk have one for £25(not sure on quality though?)

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers
Richy

Thanks! I replaced the bearing and all seems well in comparison to pre replacement, however now I've a funny noise under general acceleration in 2nd 3rd only. Will have to investigate more.
