1: BMW part # for 4kq carrier bearing: Drive shaft carrier bearing BMW
#26-12-1-209-532(includes bearing, bracket, rubber)

2: I have found a source for the 4kq center driveshaft u-joint... Try
calling Driveline Service in Portland, OR. (503) 289-2264. They have a joint
made by GWB of Germany. P/N 287000600000. It is an exact fit AND it has the
grease fitting on it. Price is a bit steep at $51 but it is an exact OE
match.

3: The centre support bearing for a type-44 quattro: I stopped by a local
M-B dealer and matched up the bearing and the rubber cap against the M-B
parts. Below are the long awaited part numbers: Both parts are from a 240D
or 300D, chassis # 123:
Bearing: 0039812325
Rubber cap: 1234101081

4: I recently purchased a center support bearing by Mercedes Benz P/n 123
410 10 81. This part is made by Weyle of Germany. There is a part number
cast into the bearing support ring - Meyle 014 041 0045 The bearing is also
an MB part made by Weyle of Germany P/N 014 098 0017.

I think both parts cost me about $50 . . . I dont have the bill to check
against.

> I recently picked up a 87 4kq and I am somewhat concerned about the state
of the prop shaft mid bearing.  It looks terrible and there is a substantial
amount of lateral play.  I can't tell if it is from the bearing itself, or
from the rubber encasement.  Any tips/BTDTs on changing that sucker?
