I understand that Porsche Change the whole shaft but now you can buy just the rubber coupling which I have bought for 80.00 looks straight forward enough.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi all has anyone changed the rubber coupling on the front drive shaft before. I understand that Porsche Change the whole shaft but now you can buy just the rubber coupling which I have bought for 80.00 looks straight forward enough. just Interested if any body has done this before, I noticed it had three splits in it which I was quite surprised about being tucked away above the middle under tray. Seeing as everything else above it looks quite new/clean.
