Driveshaft woes
Hi All. Was replacing both flex discs, transmount and centrebearing for my e220 w124.082. Noticed the u joint was notchy. Asked a drive shaft guy to rebuild the u joint. He said the yoke to the u joint is no good. I sourced a shaft from a e300. Had it lengthened and balanced but the center bearing doesnt fit as the tabs to bolt to the chassis is a different angle. The outter diameter of the bearing housing is also a little bigger and the cradle where it would bolt to will require some modification for it to fit.
The centering of the bearing seems the same. I was going to try bend the tabs and fit it with some modification to the cradle.
Has anyone had success installing an e300 driveshaft to an e220? Its difficult to source a used shaft for an e220.
