    center support bearing noise

    so when i drive my 325E BMW i get this weird noise/ almost unnoticeable vibration coming from underneath the car right next to the shifter. the weird thing is that it only happens when i take right turns. at parking lot speeds it doesn't make any noise but while driving on the road it does. while driving in a straight line or left turns it doesn't do it. i was told that it could be because my motor mounts could be worn out, but i would like some more input on the subject before i go spend 150 dollars on motor mounts.

    Replace the motor and transmission mounts. Take a good look at the guibo and replace it if it has any cracks or deformation.

      Also how much use has the CSB been through, was it preloaded and centered properly and what brand is it if you know?

          The guibo is the rubber flex disk between the drive shaft and the transmission.
