Hi all, apparently my rear engine mount went bad so I ordered it online with the plate. I took it to strauss today and after a while they called me and told me they were having great difficulty with the mount. They called me over and showed me some shaft that goes to the wheel that was frozen inside the old engine mount plate. The mechanic also told me that the bearing for the shaft was bad and the only place to get the bearing or shaft was the dealer.
Anyone know this to be true? Does anyone know the name of this shaft that goes through the engine mount?
I was told it connects the transmission or differential or something to the wheel. On the tip of one end it has some grooves as if to turn something.
My options according to the mechanic are to wait until monday and have a machine shop press out the bad bearing and shaft or go to the dealer and buy a new shaft and bearing. Can someone tell me the exact name of this shaft?
