Rearend clunk/rattle - driveshaft? 200 93

posted by  someone claiming to be robb, formerly rbm on  Tue Nov 21 04:14 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I'm being driven insane by a rattle (not quite a clunk)somewhere from the middle to the back of the car. I was convinced some piece of exhaust was hitting the underside but I have eliminated this possibility. Sound occures usually at low speeds going over even the tinniest of bumps. At higher speeds (40+ mph) I don't hear it.

I noticed yesterday when I grab the driveshaft at the center support bearing and push up and down or right to left, the support bearing moves around inside its bracket oh about 1/16 inch and seems like that could definitely be causing my noise. The bearing to driveshaft interface is tight with no clearance that I can detect. Sound could be coming from that vicinity which is about where rear passenbers feet would be.

Any opinions or experiences appreciated. I don't see how whatever holds the center support bearing on the outside could be a wear item.

Thanks in advance,

Robb
