    Center Drive Shaft Support issues

    Hi All,
    Many of you may have seen my post about a highway shimmy that I've been having. It is intermittent and mainly at higher speeds, both under power and coasting, then it suddenly goes away again. First issue that I had was DRC fluid from my blown front soft line that got on the brake pad and made a mucky paste out of the brake dust making the brakes pulse randomly, but pretty hard under highway conditions...that has been cleaned up and the DRC has been replaced with new springs and Bilsteins...

    After fixing the brake pulse, I've still been getting a shimmy at highway speeds that come and go both at coast and under load. Since my car got a new Milltek exhaust for Christmas, it was the perfect time to check the center drive shaft support...video attached below...lots and lots of play in this...I'm assuming that this is not good. I see that 034 sells the center replacement and I'll need to get or fabricate a driveshaft support tool for alignment if I replace the carrier.

    Just confirming that this is totally shot before I replace unnecessary stuff...Thanks for your input!
