[s-cars] Driveshaft CB

[Randy Reimer]

I also have a shudder at hard acceleration which I think is related to a
loud squeal that I initially thought was the CS bearing.  Car was in the
shop last week and my mechanic thinks it's the torsion differential.  I had
it on the hoist last week and there seemed to be quite a bit of play in the
driveshaft.  Additionally, we noticed that if I pop the clutch a little (a
very little) at take off, there seems to be a little "clink" noise. (not
like the colonel) After having taken the car to 3 shops now, (all who
supposedly specialize in S4's) no one seems to want to tackle the problem.

Any suggestions.

Don't have the answer, but maybe the vibration is being caused by dried out
grease in the front driveshaft CV. That is a fairly common problem at the 80
to 100k mile mark. Mechanics regreased mine and end of problem. Exhaust has
to be dropped.

I am diagnosing my driveline vibration/shudder on acceleration. I have
finally got around to getting my car up on lift. How much play should I see
in that center carrier bearing (CB) if I try and move the driveshaft around
with my hand? Should that bearing move around much at all?
