Driveshaft fit

I have never seen a '91 200q with a carbon fiber driveshaft.
I believe it is the urS4 with that beast.  However that does not mean
it is the same metal one as used on the 10v 200.

I plan on rebuilding mine with the MB bearing that I bought from Clair about 2 years ago.
Apparently I have a high tolerance for driveshaft noise.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The driveshaft, IIRC, is a special lightweight unit made of carbon
fibre and unique for the '91 200q (naturally). As to the noise--could
it be from the driveshaft's center bearing which is sometimes found
to be in need of replacement? I don't know the symptoms (sound) of a
bad bearing--others can comment on that. I believe a replacement
bearing is available by using a modified M-B part.

What about the U-joint?
