I've had a garage replace my propshaft bearings. I supplied these bearings (https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-TOQ000040P1). The viscous coupling has a collar / flange on each shaft against which the bearings and their washers/dust shield are meant to be seated.
The garage have not pressed in the front bearing fully, leaving about 1.5mm clear. The washer on the viscous coupling side of the bearing is easy to move by hand.
Would fitting the propshaft universal joint and tightening to the correct torque (65Nm) normally be enough to seat the bearing correctly? Basically, I'm thinking have they just not pressed the bearing in far enough, or have they potentially not fitted the front propshaft properly.
