Today's job was to repair the drive shaft support bearing, this is the original one from 1991, 15000 km ago i replaced it because bearing become noisy and the rubber was split, bought a new one for mercedes w202, and used spacers and longer bolts to make it fit, now it is ruined, not sure if it was too weak or bad quality, looked for a original one, found that is identical for scenic rx4 but could not found a new one, found a guy breaking a rx4, he assured me he has one in mint condition, sent it out, when it arrived it was ripped only the outside part arrived, no bearing race and bearing, did not buy it, so decide to try the windscreen sealant metod,i cut 4 openings and clean it all, made a mechanical tooth to stick,and fill it more then standard, now is more solid, and bought a new bearing, will press it on when i refurbish the drive shaft, not a part that you see on a 405, only on 4x4.
