By far, this is the absolute BEST video in terms of thoroughness, ease in giving instructions, tonality, pace, directness, camera positioning and explanation for repairing a vehicle I have ever seen on TH-cam or anywhere else. I am amazed. Thank you kind sir. Your channel is very much appreciated.
Aren’t they the best cars? I got sideswiped in mine, and also had a deer slam it rack on my driver side window and she is still going. They really are built like little solid tanks.
For me it sounded a lot like a wheel bearing… it was very frustrating to replace 2 wheel bearings and then still hear something wrong… then later the hanger bearing wore through and it felt like the drive shaft was slammin the bottom if car on the freeway.. pretty scary.
Will this cause you to feel bad shaking & vibrating at speeds up 50-70mph. Ive recently replaced my entire front end suspension lower & upper control arms, entire CV axle and ball joints and still feel this shaking. Ppl keep telling me it's cause my tires ?? Somebody help me out!!
Awesome work, and thank you for doing this. I wonder if you can help me, my e39 is making a clunking noise while accelerating, subsides whem removing foot off pedal, with a slight vibration, nothing serious. The car has automatic transmission, most noticeable first through third gear. I was leaning to a support bearing issue as it shifts smoothly, and makes no noise anywhere near the front of vehicle, the sounds comes strictly from mid car to rear. What is your opinion? Thank you!!
ever find an answer to this? i work on Euro based cars and every manual variant in that year of bmw has this issue and was never able to fully diagnose it
It's kind of hard to show what a clunking or vibration would feel like on a video. The rubber damper was still in decent condition for this particular vehicle, the bearing was actually faulty but I only found that out until the driveshaft was removed. The bearing wasn't in bad enough shape to show up during a drive. You can hear the noisy bearing when I'm spinning the assembly. The original intent for the drive shaft being removed was for a faulty flex disc.
Hey great video. I just did my rear driveshaft on my 2007 x3 e83 3.0si .. I'm getting a whineing / whistling noise form 25-30 mph when accelerating and decelerating. bad center support bearing.? The driveshaft came with the Quibo and the Center support bearing. Sounds like a Power Steering pump but that's not it. Thanks for any input.
Why do these use support type of bearing as I've never had a problem with Grand Cherokees and yet my Cayenne rubber seems to have perished and now the bearing seems shot.
Depends on the design, quality of components used, etc. If your Cayenne had previous work to the driveshaft area, then it could have been misaligned too.
Hi, I own chrisler 300c 3.5l with automatic transmission, and I have a problem of impact when I put the gear in R, as if the driveshaft has a free kick, sometimes a blow to the rear of the vehicle when switching speeds, the gearbox is ok, works perfectly. What can be a problem?
I have had a Subaru forester 1997 (automatic) from new (approx. 70,000 miles on the clock), that has been great for all the years with very little to do other than annual services. However, recently I have had a lot of vibration & shuddering on the wheels when making slow tight turns (left or right) but never on the straight. It is difficult to identify which wheels the noise or shudder comes from and I don't feel much through the steering wheel. I have had all differentials replace that has reduced the frequency but not eliminated the problem. We hope it isn't the automatic gear box but has anyone got any ideas what to do next.
You may have a failing wheel bearing or cv joint in one of the axles. I do have a video for troubleshooting a faulty wheel bearing. For a cv joint, it may have a ripped boot which allowed in dirt and let grease escape. It won't be the transmission failing.

Then I found the attached video link.... and then I found a good mechanic willing to do the work..... and yesterday we got our car back (with new solenoid in the transmission) and she runs great.....

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback, comments like yours are very much appreciated!
Beautiful custom exhaust system
I love how you made this simple and clear, great information clear vid!!
This helped me out, I’m getting a vibration from my shaft randomly depending on turning angle
Great vid, really hope this is whats making my is300 feel so shakey
Thank you!
@@4DIYers would this cause a rattle in drive

Good to know, thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thnks helps alot to understand, u did a great job.
Excellent to hear and thank you for the feedback!
In this video u said push foward the bearing 2-4 mm - I’m kinda lost with that would u mind explaining?
You just diagnosed my e36 for me... thx lol
No problem, happy to help!
great tutorial thank u so much very enlightening
Thank you, always happy to help :)
Thank u for repeating the chinking sound. Coming from my 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500.
No problem, happy to help!
So well explained man 👌
Thank you!
great stuff
Thank you!
I hope you marked the shaft!!! It is balanced !!!
I did and that was mentioned in the replacement video.
good video
Thank you :)

It probably were tyres? Did you fix?
Excellent thanks
No problem :)
great information
Thank you :)
Would a faulty support bearing cause a knock on acceleration?
Love the vid, very detailed! :D
nice video
Thank you!
Very good video! My wife's 2008 Saturn vue hit big pothole ..now driveshaft hits floor clunking at 40 ...any ideas?

That almost sounds like it could be differential or subframe bushings, I would look at the condition of those first.
ever find an answer to this? i work on Euro based cars and every manual variant in that year of bmw has this issue and was never able to fully diagnose it
#nice and all good for you for 2018
Thank you and Happy New Year :)
Very detailed, but where is the diagnostic work? This is a replacement DIY.

Around 2:10
I can hear a humming noise coming from the rear, it increases as I speed up.
My E36 makes a sound like a bunch of really angry crickets when I let off the gas. Could this be my issue?
Hey great video. I just did my rear driveshaft on my 2007 x3 e83 3.0si .. I'm getting a whineing / whistling noise form 25-30 mph when accelerating and decelerating. bad center support bearing.? The driveshaft came with the Quibo and the Center support bearing. Sounds like a Power Steering pump but that's not it. Thanks for any input.
super late but are you running an aftermarket intake by chance?
My 2013 shift failed; bearing and u-joints
Any idea why it would clank on a brand new bearing? It clanks only while braking from over 20 mph.
Garage have just told me that the banging / knocking sound is because my centre bearing of my 330d touring is completely missing including mount 😳
Hahaha 😂😂😂
It is the same process for subaru center bearing ? thanks.
so, would you say that that vibration ,humming, roaring sound coming from under my toyota sequoia 04 as it runs ,may be my drive shaft?
Got a similar sound coming out of my 07 Cadillac. Mechanic told me this is the cause. Trying to find examples of the sound to compare with my own.
yes, if it doesn't change pitch when you whip the car around on the road, otherwise could be a wheel bearing
Why do these use support type of bearing as I've never had a problem with Grand Cherokees and yet my Cayenne rubber seems to have perished and now the bearing seems shot.
Depends on the design, quality of components used, etc. If your Cayenne had previous work to the driveshaft area, then it could have been misaligned too.
What happens if you do not place back any bearing and just remove that support.??
The driveshaft will flop around causing damage.

You could possible have an issue relating to the driveshaft or rear differential.
Does this cause a screech noise when accelerating??

Thanks for the reply.... I will have this checked out & will update you on the results.@@4DIYers

A++++
❤️🌹
so much rust man...close to salt water?
Where, the exhaust? Half the exhaust isn't even factory, some shop kept reworking it from the previous owner and made a bit of a mess.
lol. you don't live near rust belt I take it.
Damn I hate driveshafts
...
This is why I will never buy a rear or 4 wheel drive car
Front wheel drive cars can have more cv joint issues and easier to wear or damage the engine or trans mounts.
Lmao you go girl 😂😂
