center bearing and prop shaft questions

[MHLIGGINS@aol.com]

	FWIW, I'm having a prop shaft overhauled for my black 5K quat.  There is a
place in Nashville checking for a replacement U-joint.  I'll find out today if
they can get it, and how much it is.

	OK, from the archives:  "correct bmw P/N for this sucker is: 26121209532 ".
This part number is listed in several different places.
	This is the part number for the BMW center bearing that is supposed to fit
the prop shaft of the 5K Audis.  At some point there was a posting to the list
that mentioned that GPR had said some of them were defective.
	Has anyone used this part number for a 5K Audi quat recently?  Did it fit as
shipped, or were mods needed?

	Also, there is obvious looseness in the prop shaft at the rear diff.  Any
suggestions about what to look for when I get the shaft out?  Think I'll need
anything special to put it back right?

	Thanks.
	Later.
