yea when you get a car engineered in nsw it cant be only certian parts it must be the whole car so it would be in that. Unlike here in qld where everything is illegal and theres no such thing as getting it engineered. Athol is it you old boy that owns king rolla doors nd exaustn 4x4.

Get a new center bearing, and fill the rubber surround with sikaflex.
Let cure for a day or two.
Fit, and make sure you replace your unis at the same time.
no more replacing center bearings.
Learnt that trick here on outers.
Great advice.

But for those who are fitting centre bearings, don't forget to also make sure that the outer frame of the bearing is square to the shaft. Make and fit wedges if necessary. An out of square centre bearing will cook fairly quickly, and filling it as described above will make it happen even faster by reducing the ability of the rubber to distort to fudge the misalignment.
A correctly aligned centre bearing with the rubber section filled as described above should last a very long time.
Just incase there was an issue with using the single one, there was a viable plan B with no engineering.Athol wrote:He no longer has a centre bearing...trains wrote:Get a new center bearing, and fill the rubber surround with sikaflex.
