[urq] Center bearing replacement results

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

Recently, I replaced the center bearing support in my car (the BMW part is
perfect, 38$CAN and takes about 1 hour with basic tools).

The obvious result is less gear whine.

But one side benefits (main benefit?) is no more knocking sound from under
over big bumps. What I tought was the exhaust hitting the floor pan was
indeed the driveshaft hitting the tunnel. The old rubber part was kinda
soft and the DS could move a lot vertically and horizontally.
Once installed on the car, the driveshaft is now way stiffer and the
alignement was easy. For this, I used a string a 3 wine bottle corks (eh!
one use what is abondant in the house!).

For those who doubt their center bearing is shot, give it this test: if
there's no more vertical adjustment (no spacers at all), and you can push
it easily upwards, it means the rubber part has sagged too much and it is
time for a replacement.

Cheers!
