[s-cars] Driveshaft "Squealing"

[chris chambers]

Calvin,

$800 seems high, but I have yet to have to do this particular job.
If the center bearing is bad you can buy a new one here:

Or you can buy a center bearing for a BMW and modify it.

Repair write up info is on Quattroworld here;

> OK guys, here's one for you:

Patient: '92 S4
Symptoms: Squealing sound 
> coming from underneath the car that is not rpm
dependent or gear dependent; 
> it is simply "load dependent."  When I press on
the gas about 25%-20% 
> throttle it squeals.  Any more throttle and it goes
away, any less and 
> it goes away.
Diagnosis: Mechanic says that it is the driveshaft carrier 
> bearing.  He says
it is a "non-serviceable" part but he knows a 
> driveshaft company that can
rebuild it.

Questions:
Does that sound 
> like the right diagnosis?
How hard is it to yank the driveshaft and carrier 
> assembly?
Does anybody have a used one that I could buy?

The car has 
> 193k miles on it and runs great but has a pretty rough body and
is not worth 
> a whole heck of a lot of money, so putting $800 into it doesn't
thrill 
> me.

Any

Thanks!
