Which side faces the front of the car? The original one doesnt look like the new one, so im not sure if it makes a difference.

Originally posted by roadrageThe part is fine, the rubber surround is different. Someone here has installed one of these before I am sure. I just want to know before I take it to have it pressed on.
For the orientation, check on which side of the old mount the bearing is inserted. Then, line up the new one the same way.

I used a piece of PVC pipe that was the correct inside diameter to slide over the driveshaft and fit on the inner race of the bearing, then just carefully tapped it into place. The center bearing is not pressed on with thousands of pounds of force, you should be able to get it on easily. Just remember when tapping or pressing a bearing, always push on the INNER bearing race.

Originally posted by roadrageyes, the bearing and rubber surround are 2 seperate pieces. My old one was torn to shreds, so it all needs replaced.
All i need to know is which way the thing should face, no one here knows?

The u joints on mine are in good shape, I was going to have them replaced just to be sure, but the guys at the DS place said they were fine.
TOmorrow will be the first time I get to drive the car since I bought it (except for the 4th gear only trip home). I hope this thing is as fun as I keep hearing you all say
