So, I don't know the status of mine, but i assume its getting worn out simply because of where its at and how these things are made.
i have no symptoms of a bad bearing, but I'm gonna slap a tune on my turbo here soon, and i figure that will accelerate wear on the part. From what I've seen and read, it seem the 958s don't chew these up for fun like 957s and 955s do/did.

That said, what are your thoughts on these. Is anyone running one? I'm seriously thinking about getting one for good measure. The design sounds solid to me.

Thoughts?

Nice design. I know they talk about vibration isolation but I wonder if it's much 'nosier'...

I would only replace with a stock unit as NVH in a luxury Cayenne is never welcome.

OP. Do you have access to the driveshaft alignment tool that Porsche use when replacing driveshafts.? If not you will be chasing vibrations for a long time.

snikwad

No, I do not.
Does it align where the bearing is placed? because this kit, doesnt require dropping or splitting the driveshaft.

Just replace with a solid aluminum shaft. Problem solved. Forever.

You'll be fin e if you don't remove the driveshaft. Even if you do, just make marks and you should be fine.

That's what I'm thinking. mark the old one, cut it off, install this one.
