Default Vibration from 45-55 MPH

Hi Guys-
I am feeling a vibration that is more pronounced when the car is under a stronger acceleration from about 45--55mph.
It's much less when it's warm outside, but it's still there.
After looking through the various email threads, I'm pretty sure it's the center driveshaft/propshaft bearing.
My problem is that I'm not seeing these bearings for sale, anywhere.

Is there someplace special I need to look or is there a special name for this part?
Thanks in advance-
-Big Cash

Bigcash, There are several posts covering this problem..........this is just one. Follow the link and scroll down to post # 2630
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-84298/page66/

The driveshaft center carrier bearing is available from Powertrain Industries, part # 3080-25.

It is recommended that you also replace the two drive shaft flex couplings, and the rear transmission mount while you're there.


Bigcash, I also found this excellent earlier post by HighHorse on the subject.............................
