Yesterday on track I got a horrible vibration from the rear end. Diagnosed as the propshaft bearing.

Question is where can I buy one and what's my best option?

Can't buy one from audi only a whole new shaft. What's my options? Cheers

Whats your model year? IIRC Pre-facelift prop shaft can be split and bearings replaced individually. Facelift is unfortunately a complete prop swap.

Are you sure it cannot be split?

2008/2009 (58 plate) http://www.oemepc.com/audi/part_sin.../521/subcategory/521010/part_id/252487/lang/e

2006/2007 http://www.oemepc.com/audi/part_sin.../521/subcategory/521010/part_id/252487/lang/e


So it doesn't look like it from the workshop diagrams - sorry to be the one to break it to you.

I would put your VIN in there just to be sure. If it is a facelift it will almost certainly have the later Haldex and unfortunately the prop will be a complete part.
