problems "vibration/noises" .I forgot to mark the center support bearing when I put it a part.

Yes there is. It shows in the Bentley. I think a 2 x 4 and some bungee cords and ....

blocks could HAVE worked to keep everything in alignment. However, at this point, with the fact that you have changed a few things and did not mark how it all was together, you have a problem. I don't know if a driveshaft repair shop could help or not. You need a dynamic balance.

It may just be a matter of disassembly and moving things a position or too but that is a lot of trial and error work on the car. You will be better off trying to find a shop to help you.

Hmm , today I've tried to move the center support bearing but didn't make any difference.
The only thing that I can think of is rear driveshaft cv joint b/c both front cv and center bearing has been changed.
Ooo one more thing , it gets wosre when driving in rain.I think I'll try to change the rear cv this week and see if it makes any difference.
