Driveshaft bearing

bikeopath said:

New member here with a just purchased 2004 GL1800 Cobra.

Does anyone have current part numbers for the rubber boot and the CV joint (Rezeppa bearing?) that connects the driveshaft to the differential input shaft?

The current (failed) bearing has a GNK number that is no longer available.

I am hoping to source parts locally since I am scheduled to leave on a trip on Tuesday.

Fyi, all other parts of the driveline are in good shape. It looks like the boot cracked and allowed dirt to infiltrate the bearing.

For some reason, I am unable to post a picture.

The bearing in question looks like a run of the mill series 15 CV joint. GKN Part # C153100198010. Can’t find a part # on the boot.

No one locally has that bearing and they cannot confirm a cross reference part #.

Maybe if I knew what vehicle this was sourced from?

Tranny output shaft, yolk/u-joint, and driveshaft are all in good shape. Just need to replace bearing and boot.

Have a look here, the joint in question seems to fit VW and Audi applications, if you scroll down it shows the boot also
