Re: 4KQ bmw P/N center bearing?

["Bruce Bell" <bbell04@ibm.net>]

Glen et all,

I have had this bearing installed in my car. works perfect
and the bearing unit carries the same part #'s as Audi ( or
at least the same cross referenced number).  You may need
to elongate one of the mounting holes on the support for
the lateral adjustment. As I recall the Audi support has
elongated holes on both sides while the BMW has the
elongation on only one side.  Be most careful with the U
joint and don't lose or break any of those needle bearings.
Seems to me someone posted a source for the U joint a while
back.

GPR German Parts & restoration is listed in Dan's vendor
page. They also are regular advertisers in EC.
