Fixing the most common failure point on a Porsche Cayenne.

[@davewalkerden]

You did it wrong. The two large washers with the bigger holes go on the outside of the bracket, against the rubber isolation dampers and the two large washers with the smaller holes go on the inside of the bracket against the rubber isolation dampers. Not doing this will casue a failure of the components. The purpose of the big washers is to spread the load across both faces of the rubber isolation dampers. The way you did it will dramatically shorten the life of the components. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHilkKmjZ66EedE

[@HarrisonSchoen]

I realized this and went in the next day to repair it! I've left info in my description leading to the company's install video. I didn't notice two washers were slightly larger than the other two. It's sorted now!

[@PeterSierra]

You’re really making a cayenne build look feasible…. Must fight the urge…

[@jopo6388]

Fixed mine using the 20 dollar Jimmy fix! 3 years and still going! And BTW while your in there you should repack the bearing with new grease.

[@GenoFoster]

This just reminded me I still have to do this haha I’ve had the JXB upgrade sitting for the past few months, easy enough install though!

[@HarrisonSchoen]

I’ve had it sitting for a month or two and finally got around to it! Its a very easy install

[@carloscarranzajr5802]

You're truly a Pinner for us all thanks for sharing all your videos, you have no idea how much knowledge you have given us. It's not easy sharing and publicly being critiqued.i appreciate you 🙏

[@HarrisonSchoen]

I appreciate you for your comment. I look forward to continuing to put out videos!

[@stefthepef]

Love the wrenching vids. My next vehicle *has* to be a Cayenne after prices chill out, and I love this build and everywhere you go with it.

[@HarrisonSchoen]

I’m not sure the prices are going to chill out 😅 they only made X amount and they’re being bought up left and right for people to build them up. I’d say their now rising prices are still justified 😅

[@stefthepef]

@@HarrisonSchoen Fair, ha. There's good reason why I want one. I just know car sales right now are nuts.

[@Zionfarm]

Just have to look in the right market areas. Folks who don’t watch KZbin 😂🤣😂. Got mine for $8k, Cayenne S model with 152k miles. Guy had too much cars and needed to get rid of it. I suspect he liked it at first but didn’t want to invest in the expensive maintenance seeing that couldn’t/didn’t want to do the self maintenance stuff. Oh yeh I got mine from Richmond VA.

[@SteveBassen]

I did the same on my T1 Touareg last year when they first came out. Regretted not ordering the new mounting plate that you did since the process to reuse the factory mounting plate is a huge pain to reinstall.

[@HarrisonSchoen]

Fortunately I didn’t have to deal with installing it to that. It’s a very nice piece, but it’s just the cost vs. time aspect!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you!

Hi 👋 I have a 2017 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid and I am having vibrations between 60-70 km/h, vibrations are not big but they’re there. My garage checked the rims and tires and that’s all good. We came to the conclusion that it’s the driveshaft but looking at this video and my vibrations being smallish , can it be this part that needs to be replaced rather the whole drive shift ? Thank you for your help .

[@elcolin_]

I got a 958.1 and I wonder if this was as much of a failure point past the 955/957 models?

[@jdbikerlife9464]

excellent video!! I wanted to ask you, do you have 33/12.5/17 tires? and air suspension? or spring suspension

[@HarrisonSchoen]

Spring suspension and 35x12.5x18 inch tires!

[@jdbikerlife9464]

@@HarrisonSchoen awesome, how did you manage to get 35 inch wheels in there and have them fit you? does not touch with any side when giving the curve?

[@HarrisonSchoen]

@@jdbikerlife9464 no rubbing at any point of the wheel travel! they work phenomenally well! I just had to cut everything away!

[@jdbikerlife9464]

@@HarrisonSchoen excellent, the car looks great! I'm from Spain and I can't find any information here, they say the Cayenne here is not good for off-roading, but I want to transform my Cayenne and show that it's good for off-roading, I want to put 35-inch tires on it, raise the suspension, put luggage rack, front and rear fenders, do you have any video of the transformation? any tutorial on what you did to put those tires and suspension?

[@jdbikerlife9464]

@@HarrisonSchoen sorry for asking so many questions i just don't know anyone here who has done these changes on a cayenne also sorry for my writing i use translator

[@Jdsofar]

what were your negative symptoms of the driveshaft that made you want to do this? vibration in the bearing?? There is some vibration on my cayenne when I drive from 70-90kmph I think something is wrong under there most likely the bearing is going bad. would you reckon this to solve that?

[@HarrisonSchoen]

It’s possible that’s wrong on yours! I worked out a deal with JXB personally exchanging the product for content. I did it preventatively!

[@Jdsofar]

@@HarrisonSchoen Ya I just don't want to spend 500$ and it not even fix the issue. Ive emailed them and asked aswell but i suspect this is most likely the cause. Cars 13 years old now so im sure its due. On my last cayenne it actually blew up on the highway lol made terrible banging sounds. Want to address this asap so its smooth at all speeds

[@HarrisonSchoen]

@@Jdsofar I'd say crawl underneath the cayenne and investigate! if the bushing is bad or torn it may be the cause!

[@MauricioTorres-np7ge]

Esa pieza no es necesario sacarla, solo se refuerza la goma con poliuretano y funciona para siempre sin un mayor costo.

[@richardciotti667]

Large washer protects the bushing. IMO

[@jt6651]

8:22 give it the extra Ugga Dugga

[@BoschPorsche]

Did your oem failed? Or you just wanted to replace it before it would fail?

[@HarrisonSchoen]

Replacing preventatively!

[@datazndood]

It will inevitably fail so better to take care of it before it comes rudely knocking on the highway. I bought a silicone part this guy made in Germany which also works. Been 3+ years and 30-40k miles later still kicking ass, just need to replace the zip ties one every couple years.

[@BoschPorsche]

@@datazndood yeah I know, I was just curious if it failed or he just wanted to prevent the failure, I've done on one of mine long time ago, it was expansive cuz it failed while I was on the trip. So now I know, and will replace on both of my cayennes, to prevent any issues later!

[@datazndood]

@@BoschPorsche Yeah that’s the worst when you are on the road (or off-road) as in some of this channels videos. Albeit he’s taking huge jumps and testing what these cars are made of, I don’t have the balls yet but glad to see he has sponsors and people to help him along the way otherwise it begins to get really Really expensive. These cars are gems, no one’s wants to touch them because of the badge and the dealership quotes for maintenance and repair bills but if you have the time to research parts and replace them yourself you’re are golden. I just did a 5k trip from MA to FL and back, absolutely zero complaints from my beast, thirst for more adventure actually 180k miles too. (06 Cayenne S)

[@BoschPorsche]

@@datazndood nice, yeah I hear you there. I do all maintenance my self. That way I save money and learn my cayenne. Have been owning cayennes for about 10 or so years now, and I love this vehicles no matter who says what!

[@ianwatson3315]

So jxb is where eurowise get them..I made the mistake of using the street rubber bush..it fell out on a trail🤦‍♂️

[@HarrisonSchoen]

Hmm, I hope the same doesn’t happen to me because I put in the street bushings also!

[@m4d_mark_xtr3me79]

Why didn't you drop the drive shaft and replace the bearing aswell as the bushings 🤷‍♂️ Just makes sense to do that shilst your sorting stuff

[@HarrisonSchoen]

It isn’t the bearing that goes bad, only the bushing around the driveshaft bearing.

[@m4d_mark_xtr3me79]

@Harrison Schoen ahh fair enough 👍 I would've personally put a new one in, aswell as dampner. Just one of those things that would save going back underneath for a while

[@HarrisonSchoen]

@@m4d_mark_xtr3me79 As far as I know, the Bearing isn't really replaceable. it's necessary to get a new drive shaft at that point.

[@m4d_mark_xtr3me79]

@Harrison Schoen Yeah, you have to remove the metal dust sheild/cap. (In the centre) Then carefully remove the ball bearings. Then remove the retaining wire. Remove the centre knuckle and then, After that, you can remove the centre bearing. Why they didn't just use a dust boot or a something simple like that with a C clip I don't know 🤷‍♂️ But that's how you change the centre bearing without a new driveshaft.

[@m.cooper1854]

If you own an older Cayenne, it's not if, but when.

Auf was hier überhaupt nicht hingewiesen wird ! Das Mittellager mus genau wieder an die gleiche Stelle wie vorher ! Nur 1 Millimeter Versatz, bedeutet Unwucht im ganzen Fahrzeug. Porsche verwendet dazu extra ein Zentrier Tool, um die Welle genau zu montieren, die wissen warum !
