My comment here would be to replace the driveshaft. In less time than it would take to replace the center bearing, one could replace the complete shaft, and the GOOD aftermarket driveshafts NEW are only about 450.00 dollars now. We have installed many many of these and not ONE problem. That URO brand center bearing is not good and the two piece hard to install and expensive considering the price of a new shaft

Hard to install? Disagree...I could do the Vertex fix in 45 minutes without getting dirty. I have 45k miles on mine with zero issues....doubtful I could say the same had I replaced the driveshaft.

Mine had the same situation last year and went to the EPS which I think it's totally worthy. It's simple to install and didn't require specialty tools.

I installed the EPS solution today on my 2004 S. Fit perfectly. Seems like a very good solution.

While I was down there, I also jacked up the sagging transmission mount and stuffed some rubber hose in the gap to shim it up about 3/16", probably back to where it is supposed to sit.
First place I saw this idea: https://rennlist.com/forums/cayenne-...l#post15846601
