driveshaft / center support bearing fyi

[Denis]

If you are happy with your bargain, then i am.
I have rebuilt mine now,, i ll tried it this week..... i pray it ll not
wobbled.
I took of parts of CV joints,,, as always they look new,, bbut the balls
needed to be changed. I did polish the ball marks with 400 the 600 oil sand
paper. Crasy CV, the CV rotor was like pass true40 sand paper inside,  from
original Audi driving shaft CV joint !!.

I took pics of step rebuilt and ll put anything i fixed on my future site.

I m very  curious to know where these rebuilter guys got there U-joint
(means the right one  72mm x 26mm)
