Driveshaft Center Support Bearing: how much play is too much? (video)
Does anyone have any experience with the center support bearing on their first gen IS300? The car is a manual transmission running a GM T56 transmission, although the driveshaft is a modified OEM.
How much play is normal in the driveshaft center support bearing on the IS? I've got a speed/RPM dependent clunk that is quiet in lower gears and unbearable on the highway. The symptoms seem consistent with a driveshaft issue - the faster the driveshaft spins, the louder and faster it gets.
Here's a video I took under the car - this is with medium pressure applied to the driveshaft. I'm guessing this bushing is bad, but wanted to see if someone here has more direct experience. Check out the vid and let me know what you think?
