Prop shaft bearing

[nigelbunt]

Thought exhaust was knocking on my c class 200k . Had it in garage exhaust been bent banged an twisted . All holders in place but still a knocking sound coming from middle roughly around gear shift area . Been advised could be prop shaft bearing . Prop shaft does have some play in it . Anyone any ideas

Yes it could be that and some details of doing this job in the DIY section,,,would you be doing it your self

I would check to see if the rubber boot on the prop shaft is split and flapping against the underside of the car as the shaft rotates.

Assume it's a two piece prop. Get hold of it & try to get movement out of it, try twisting against the U/J joints

Did one yesterday on a slk, the mounting fails, so you get up/down movement but not rotational play.
