Mark borrowed Mark's parts and chattered:

Mark Pollen kindly let me use his new Boge motor mounts  Installed 
them with no problem and unfortunately the chatter got louder.

Now it sounds like metal hitting metal and it seems to be near the 
rear when I roll the right windows down.  Does not do it cruising--- 
just under acceleration in any gear.  Just bang bang bang like a 
small jack hammer.

I can also move the shaft side to side but not much and it feels like 
something inside is clanging with a space between them-- sort of like 
a lose spline shaft.

Anyone feel this is just the center bearing or is it more like bad 
universal joints?

Any opinions?

Mark-

Sorry to hear about your dysfunctional Shaft.  Beware anything Mr.
Pollan tells you about Shafts as he's had to recent seek medical
attention for wood lasting longer than 4 hours (read:  UrS8 giddiness).
Why am I not surprised something of his you installed on yours made it
WORSE???  Bwd'oh!

FWlittleIW...  when I had that exact same chatter it was remedied by
rebuilding the front CV on the Shaft.  I too thought center bearing but
nope.  Think it was @ about ~ 125k or so.  HTH.

Really now, best remedy is some more //Sport mode for ya in Mark's UrS8
until you have no choice but to //Submit.  8-).

Good luck.  Don't let them team up on ya down there now...

-Paul or something and stuff and things, I think K.
