Hanger barring gone again

[drizit]

I've got an '86 535I when i got it the hanger barring and
U joints on the drive shaft were tost. I replaced them however after about 2 weeks of driving the hanger barring is starting to go again. (i know i drive it to hard) but is there some aftermarket one that will last a bit longer this time?

sounds like you didn't get the pre-load correct...OE components are generally stronger than aftermarket unless getting into a custom rig which you likely don't need. In this neck the hanger barring you refer to is known as the center bearing.
HTH.

thanks, so you figure it's dead or just needs to have the preload changed?
