whats the right name of this part?

Hi Guys,

Recently replaced clutch and flywheel of my 330ci 2004. After a while a vibration started to occur above say 80km.Pulled off the propshaft and this part is worn (see pic). I need to replace it. It comes from the end of the propshaft - inside it sits 6 ball bearings.

1. Can you please tell me what its called (searching the net but cant find it)?

2. Where are the marks on the propshaft to properly align it ?

3. Theres a knocking sound when changing in and out of gears, I checked the mountings and the flex disc, all seems fine. Would this part also be the cause of that


thanks so much. PS I'm in durban - so if you know where I could get a good quality replacement for this part without going in to the stealership. I would be grateful.


thanks
MAC

Looks like centre support bearing... you say the guibo coupling is fine?

hi

thanks for the reply,

This part is at the back end of the propshaft/diff. on realm its not even labeled (my luck). it holds six large ball bearings.

The guibo looks fine. After the clutch and flywheel change the car was fine for a few days then the vibration started.

thanks for the replies

Okay, then probably the wrong version selected, is this the CI, just the coupe, or the convertible?

thats the part that bolts to the Diff correct?

its ether called a CV or universal joint... but that does not really matter go to a CV joint place with the part and get a new one tell them its the one for the prop shaft... if they cant help you will have to get from BMW...
