Default I joined the cardan shaft club

Yep, I heard the thumping when I was driving this weekend. I'll be taking it into my indy this week. No high-pitched screeching though. I guess that comes later.

2005 Cayenne Turbo with 53k miles for those of you who like data points.

Mine started yesterday. Checked around, and the guy offering new shafts for $350 is sold out.

So I ordered the new Bearing and will be doing it the hard (but cheap) way.

It appears I am about to join the "second time round cardan shaft replacement club". Good luck with your fixes. Unfortunately, it seems to be a repeat item......I kept my first shaft so this time I'm replacing the bearing, re-greasing and having it professionally re-balanced.

Default Same for me

I had my vibrations from the rear of the floorpan validated by the dealer today that it is the driveshaft....just ordered the replacement from Vertex Auto and they had them in stock. I get it this Thursday and will be doing this along with the brakes this weekend.
