Car parts and drivetrain components for Opel Omega B.
A worn or failing centre bearing often causes whining noises or vibrations felt through the vehicle's floor pan, particularly at speeds between 50 and 80 km/h.
Yes, we supply individual inner CV joints for the Opel Omega B, which is a cost-effective solution if the drive shaft itself is still in good condition.
Vibrations under load are often caused by wear in the inner CV joints or an imbalance in the propeller shaft, which is a common issue on rear-wheel-drive models.
In many cases the drive shafts are identical, but differences can occur depending on the engine variant and gearbox. Always select your vehicle's exact make, model and engine to ensure the correct fitment.
A prop shaft does not normally need balancing unless it has suffered physical damage or the universal joints have been replaced without marking the shaft sections correctly prior to disassembly.
It requires suitable tools and a good understanding of rear suspension assemblies, but for an experienced DIY mechanic it is a very manageable job.
