Badger_1 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 A friend of mine is after a bit of info on replacing the vcu unit which apparently comes complete with the bearings and carriers at each end. We noticed the fixing holes for the carriers are slotted which made us think maybe the bearing carriers need to be centralised in some way to avoid propshaft vibration due to it being mis-aligned. Is there a knack to making sure everything is lined up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearings should be at 90 degrees to the centre line of the VCU. Haynes show using a large set square to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great thanks. What about vertical alignment? are any washers/spacers used between the bearing brackets and the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
