    center bearing mouts ripped

    One of my center bearing mounts for my manual 5speed 330i ripped out of the body. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? replaced the clutch, flex plate, and the center bearing less then 1000 miles ago. should i go single piece drive shaft, or fix the body? any help is appreciated thanks in advance!

    Fix the body. Find a reputable body shop that’s seen the problem before. The alignment of the fix is critical.

    You should check the driveshaft u joints and make sure they are moving, flexing freely
