I replaced the drive shaft support & bearing when I got my 85 Euro TD several years ago and last month it needed replacing again and since I have a problem shoulder and can't manage that job very easy, I had a friend with a shop do it. And now after only a few hundred miles it needs replacing again. I haven't crawled under yet but its unlikely my friend screwed up the job. When I had the DS out the first time I noticed that I could feel a "detente" when I rotated the U-joint, not much but very noticeable. Could that be causing this problem? The replacement support was a Febi from Pelican.
