X3 center support/carrier bearing

[Yuben]

Guys I suspect this bearing is shot on my X3.

Helluva vibration felt at low speed and progressive.

Any recommendations where I can take it to for a check up and possibly replace same time?

Thanks:cartel:

it's a possibility, but if you change the guibo disc and the hanger cos the vibration could be coming from either or both of them, very often guibo disc.
However, vibrations can come from other places too

The rear u-joint on the propshaft is also prone to seizing up which also causes significant vibration. Have everything checked out at the same time.

Why not get Gizmo to give the car a check for you? IIRC, he did help you inspect the car prior to purchase.

Yeah, just a bit of a mission to drop off.

I had tyres put on yesterday, and they showed me the worn bearing, just wanted to get it sorted out ASAP as there are places in JHB CBD that do propshafts, just looking for recommendations...
