[Lawrence C Leung]

Quattro's have IRS, so the driveshaft hardly moves in "normal" operation.
Don't know if the center bearing fails, but I'd imagine that you'd hear a
lot of bumps if it's bad as well as scraping noises. If it's a 4KQ, check
the exhaust hanging, it can scrape the driveshaft, though it wouldn't be
a linear relationship, it'd be exponential. (BTDT!).
