[@joebarron9220]

One of the best DIY videos I watched... very good...thank you

[@wilcat375]

One of the best videos on u tube

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@jmattcarrasco]

Vu, glad to see you doing some DIY maintenance on a Cayenne. I wrote you an email about the 958 Cayenne's transfer case and I look forward to a video on this item and whether or not this prone to failure part is in fact the Achilles heel of the 958 and as such buyer beware or if this is something that can be fixed for 100K's of miles without incident. Thank you.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks. Yes, looking to do the transfer case video in the near future.

[@carlosgraphic]

This is a good way to fix this problem as long your shaft is well-balanced. if the shaft is slightly unbalanced this will not go well. The fact the part is a little bigger than the original center bearing makes touch the tunnel ending in vibration under the center console.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Interesting point, we have not noticed any vibration in this set up.

[@mosesa50505]

You don't have to take the exhaust off, just need a swivel and extension to get to the differential triple square bolts.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks for the tip!

Hi Vu, minh ten la Long. Thank you for the video. I tool the transfer case cover off to change the chain inside. I didn't mark where the driveshaft attach to the transfer case. Now that I got everything back in, I cant drive over 30 mph. it felt like the driveshaft is out of balance. Is that possible? Or did I damage the driveshaft when I pried it off the transfer case? Thank you

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Might check that you reattached the axle onto transfer case properly. If it isn't centered, you'll definitely get a vibration.

[@tl6708]

@@PorscheClubofAmerica Thank you Vu. The driveshaft was not attached back onto the transfer case correctly. While I was at home waiting for Hurricane Milton, I jacked up the car again double check with the photos I took before I did the job. You are 100% right. I corrected the mistake. My 200K cayenne now drives and accelerates smoothly. Thank you so much!

[@Shannon997S]

My Cayenne turbo has a vibration at high speeds only when I give it a good amount of throttle, do you think this is the probable cause? Thanks!

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

It could be. Check by grabbing the driveshaft as we did in the video.

[@khazinsudin2028]

I have the same experience with my Cayenne Turbo. Hope somebody can share how to solve the problem. Thank You

[@funfun5656]

Was it the driveline or ignition coils/spark plugs?

[@adleynaude1]

Very good video could you give me the name of the repair kit. The same thing is happening to my cayenne and would like to do this instead of buying a new drive shaft

Hey man. I’m trying to put this exact piece on my Cayenne 2005 and it’s not fitting it seems small and I called up to Europeanparts and they’re saying to cut the shell off of the barring I’m confused and I’m halfway through the process I’m super lost literally my first car just wanna cruise man

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Yes, there maybe an outer case on your bearing that needs to be removed. It is covered in the instructions. The bearing in the video did not require. Shouldn't be hard to do, just a bit more time. Good luck.

[@Pale5tinian]

How's this repair holding up?

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Still going down the road smooth since install.

[@amarok3245]

[@doca8792]

I’ll be doing this over the weekend. Any reason that the bearing fix done first over the guibo? Thanks.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Might as well do the guibo while you're there but I suppose you could do it later.

[@peterhayes2935]

did this repair in 2017....The part went bad again this weekend. it was five years almost to the day. But, only 4500 miles. Just FYI.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks for sharing.Which part did you use in the repair?

[@carlosgraphic]

Many people have this part fail after doing a job or making some kind of repair involving the drive shaft. Some people don't know that the plate where the bearing support rests has an alignment that has to be strictly followed if not the bearing will fail prematurely or over time.

[@SEBACHOWARRIOR]

[@space_114v2]

The issue with this short cut repair is the "solution" costs more than doing it the conventional way even factoring in labor to remove the shaft . I had my shaft rebuilt for $200 as in my search I found several Porsche indy's that will either rebuild and balance or exchange your old shaft for a much more competitive price plus around $150 to re and re the shaft back in.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Removing, rebuilding, and reinstalling shaft is certainly an option. What we liked about this solution is that from start to finish it took about two hours, and that was doing it for the first time and taking time to film. Your approach above takes the vehicle out of commission for a longer period I would imagine. Total cost for this repair was $399 not including labor. DIY labor was free :)

[@tomalcolm]

That’s an amazing price to rebuild a driveshaft. I expect to pay between C$500-1000.

[@ogalief]

@@tomalcolm I paid $1,000 Canadian to get mine rebuilt and installed. Wish I knew about this method at the time

[@markschnettler9684]

nice job

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mauriciotorres3262]

Con menos trabajo la misma pieza se puede reutilizar, limpiando la goma dañada minuciosamente, luego se rellena con poliuretano el anillo completo donde está la goma dañada, asegurando adherencia en el borde exterior metalico e interior (parte externa del rodamiento central), generando un soporte semiflexible reforzado a la goma original, la goma dañada servirá de base para aplicar el poliuretano fresco por ambos lados, se deja curar 24 hrs y se soluciona el problema por el doble o triple de vida que tendría la goma original y gastando solo u$5 aprox.

[@javierhormigomartinez7813]

That’s good 💪, where could I buy the piece?

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

[@paulkuzmanovski2836]

I like it but it seems entirely dependent on the condition of the bearing and seals. Would it not be more appropriate to title the video: how to modify the driveshaft center support bearing on your etc…?

[@koselasalle6621]

Got mine today and the damn thing doesnt fit around my 2004 porsche cayenne bearing. I grind on the part to see if it'll fit but still too small. Hope I get my money back. Yup I say never buy these things

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Did you reach out to the mfg? Perhaps they can assist.

[@whiteyrussell5176]

Jimmi Fix cost $2.66 using 5/8'' hose and ty-wraps and has lasted 108K

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

Thanks for watching and sharing. Glad to hear that fix is working out for you. We'd love it if you'd subscribe to our channel.

[@DJmixmo]

No, No, No! This is a lazy man's approach which fails to address the equally worn out CV joints. Do it right and replace the whole cardan shaft. I found a reasonably priced aftermarket shaft on amazon.

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

As mentioned in the video, replacing the whole shaft is an option. Your concern about the worn cv joint maybe valid. That said, the techs we work with have never seen the cv joint on a Cayenne carden shaft fail. Keep us posted on how the aftermarket shaft works out for you.

[@blakslee720]

lol, everything looks easy when the car is on a lift

[@PorscheClubofAmerica]

A lift definitely makes it easier, but many have done with ramps and jack stands.
