MEYLE has produced a video to show how it Cardan Shaft repair kits can save garages a huge amount of time and money by not replacing the entire shaft. 

A complete replacement is not always necessary, as in most cases, it is the centre bearing or the flex disc that is subject to failure. MEYLE repair kits contain everything needed for the repair. 

The MEYLE range of cardan shaft repair solutions, now features 15 MEYLE‑ORIGINAL full-service repair kits. The smart-repair kits include all components required for time and cost efficient cardan shaft repair enabling workshops to change a faulty centre bearing easily without having to replace the complete cardan shaft, as is the case with the OE equivalent. The ranges caters for; Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW, Porsche and Mercedes Benz models.

Until recently, in most cases where the centre bearing failed, there used to be no choice other than to replace the complete cardan shaft assembly. However, the MEYLE‑ORIGINAL full-service kits come complete with all parts required for the centre bearing replacement including the bearing, clamp ring, rubber boot, mounting material and grease.  With the MEYLE smart-repair solution workshops can save their customers unnecessary costs while maximising their own labour profit.

MEYLE recommends when replacing the centre bearing that the flex disc be changed to rule out costly follow-up repairs.
