Whatever, YMMV. When the balancer went on my E28, it made a thumping noise. No scraping. When the thumping is intermittent, it's hard to tell where it's coming from.shagrath wrote:I think the HB (yes, many etas had em) would make scraping noises rather than thumping noises. Not to mention he mentioned middle-rear, not up toward the front (where the driveshaft would meet the output of the tranny).California Dreamin' wrote:What car do you have?
If it's not the center support bearing (and I agree with above about accell vs. decel) then the next thing I'd look at is the harmonic balancer. If your car has one - not sure about eta's.

You said five bolts, that's just for the diff mount. Bentley says also remove the front and side bolts and disconnect the sensor - I understand you didn't do that, and the sky didn't come crashing down?boardsportsrule wrote:it's quite simple..5bolts to take off, and put back on, and makes a world of difference.
Trying this (five bolt) version now, hope it works.
Update: Yes, it works. And yes, it's the diff mount this time. Thanks everyone for words of wisdom.
