When Do Audi Driveshaft Centre Bearings Need to Be Replaced?

If you own a Audi, maintaining a healthy driveline is crucial to ensure smooth and efficient power delivery. The driveshaft centre bearing, also known in Australia as the tailshaft centre bearing, supports the driveline by keeping the shaft properly aligned and reducing vibrations during operation.

Over time, this component can deteriorate due to wear, exposure to road debris, or ageing rubber mounts. Symptoms of a worn bearing can include:

Noticeable vibrations through the cabin or floor

Shuddering during acceleration

Clunking or knocking noises when shifting gears or taking off

Uneven or unbalanced feel while driving

A failing centre bearing on a Audi can lead to further wear on surrounding driveline components, which may result in more extensive and costly repairs if not addressed promptly.

The cost to replace a driveshaft centre bearing typically ranges from $419 to $779, varying based on the vehicle's model, required parts, and labour rates.

When replacing the driveshaft centre bearing on a Audi, it’s essential to choose quality parts that match the manufacturer’s specifications.

Depending on the model, some Audi's may require specific tools or procedures to ensure the driveshaft is correctly aligned and balanced after the new bearing is installed.

Routine servicing and early detection of driveline symptoms can help extend the life of your Audi's drivetrain, improve ride quality, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
