While driving I had a SEVERE!!! Vibration that felt like it was coming from behind me. I thought it was the U-joint but when I put her up on the jacks I noticed that the front Flex Disk was just about destroyed. Hopefully this has saved me several hundred dollars. Obviously I need to replace the front Flex Disk, should I also replace the rear Flex disk?
The Drive shaft Support (or as my British Haynes calls it Propeller Shaft Support) Center Bearing does not "feel gritty" There is movement in it like the support is allowing the drive shaft to flex up and down. Is this normal? It doesn't take much to move it; it's definitely not stiff. I just have no idea how stiff it should be.
Any thought how long does this job take with hand tools? Might have to reacquire my air compressor and impact wrench, it took 2 hours to loosen up the Exhaust bolts (most of the time spent trying to figure out how to get at them and removing the heat shields) and 5 minutes to drop it out.
Thanks, Hoping to order parts in the morning, install in the evening or tomorrow.
Thanks, Dave
