Hi all, new here.
My brother in law has a ‘13 Crosstour V6 AWD that vibrates while accelerating. It has 106k miles on it.
it only does it while accelerating, not coasting or maintaining speed, and at almost any speed from 10 mph to highway speeds. VERY light accelerating doesn’t seem to cause it.
Im an accomplished mechanic, and did a full inspection of the suspension and driveline. The large forward control arm bushings look good but have some flex. Half shafts seem tight, boots not cracked, and no clicking binding or movement in the CVs at full turn. Motor mounts seem slightly soft but are not cracked. Overall it seems in good repair.
The only anomaly I can see is the center support bearing/bushing on the propeller shaft has a fair amount of deflection, and it certainly seems that’s where the vibration is coming from.
I cannot find that part anywhere. I can only find the full driveshaft assembly for lots of $$$. Do any of you know where to find that center bearing? Or can you confirm that it is my likely culprit?
