Spam: Help with center driveshaft parts, 4000Q, 5000Q and 100Q

[Vittorio Bares]

Hi:

I went through this with the 4000 this summer.

Force 5 has the hanger bearing available, as do several of the usual
on-line suspects warehouses. The issue is that these suckers are a PITA
to replace depending on the condition. Due to the age, its probable that
it will be difficult.

I bought a new prop shaft from
http://www.wholesaleimportparts.com/driveshaft_catalog.php?make=Audi%20D
riveshaft

Not cheap compared to the hanger bearing cost - but I knew if I was
going to go through the trouble of fixing the hanger bearing - that I'd
want to replace the front/rear CV's as well. Based on the labor required
- especially for the hanger bearing, the potential for disaster in
getting it out and the fact that the new shaft is guaranteed and
balanced - seemed to make sense.

Vittorio -

Greg;

The hanger bearing, u-joint, and CV joints for the driveshafts are not
available from Audi. Audi only sells complete driveshafts at a price
that
requires a second mortgage on your primary residence.
Over the years listers have found parts from other cars that fit the
Audi
driveshafts. The hanger bearings usually require some welding to make
the
tabs fit the Audi mounts. The U-joints in the UrS cars are staked in
place,
not clipped, so replacement requires machining grooves for clips (if you
can
find a u-joint that matches).
This is the list that I've compiled:

U-joint:
99-05 Suzuki Grand Vitara (Precision U-Joint #448 mfg by PRECISION
UNIVERSAL
JOINT (0746079)) for Audi 4000 (Jeremy Ness)

Neapco 1-0013 for Type 44 (K. Bogach)

Driveline Service in Portland, OR. (503) 289-2264. They have a joint
made by
GWB of Germany. P/N 287000600000 exact OE fit for the 4Kq (Denis).



CV Joint:
Porsche CV joint # 923 332 03200 25 spline, 100 mm diameter CV joint for
UrS
cars available aftermarket only (obsolete Porsche part number) (Mark
Turczyn).

Yes, I need help...I have search around but found nothing concrete,
especially for my 89 100 quattro with Torsen center diff, the drivesahft
is
a bit shorter then the 5000, and I need to replace the center bearing
and
hanger on four driveshafts, possibly the end cv's and ujoints as most of
them have high miles. I am looking for part numbers for replacement
parts,
everywhere I see pics of the part used but no numbers. I work in
wholesale
autoparts, so sourcing the stuff is no problem, I just need
numbers...u-joints, center hangers and bearings, end cv joints for 1986
4000Q, 1987 and 1988 5000TQ and 1989 100Q.
Thanks for any help
Greg
