[s-cars] Driveline noise/vibration

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

 I'm only going from memory, but I think you're right, and there is a BMW part available... or get this:

Thanks for the quick replay Dave.....
 
Is this the part that is shared with a BMW or something?  Or am I getting this mixed up with the urquattro?
 
I assume I shouldn't drive the car all that much with it like this?
 
Any R&R writeup or advice if that is indeed the case?  Any recommendation on part suppliers and part #?
 
I'll check it out in the am......
 
Thanks again......

Jim

Yeah... check the center   bearing support... probably shot.

Hey guys,

Something I noticed a few days ago, very sporadic and unintrusive, has today 
become noisy and with considerable vibration under initial load upon 
acceleration.  In first and second gear especially, under acceleration, I am 
hearing a "ting ting ting" bell sound from under the car, speed related, not RPM 
related.  Also feeling noticable vibration until about 20 mph, then I still hear 
the sound faintly, and the vibration is gone.  Car drives fine at highway 
speeds.  Could this be the driveshaft or driveshaft bearing?  Took a look 
underneath with a flashlight tonight but couldn't see anything obvious, other 
than a bit of wetness around the rear differential, but not anything really 
bad......what should I look for when I get under there tomorrow in the daylight?

Car has 106K miles, spent mostly in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.......

Thanks so much......don't really need this just before the busy time of year, 
that's for sure!

Best regards,

Jim Fleischer
