Propshaft damper.

[+Daz+]

Just been told my Propshaft damper needs replacing.Cost is an eye watering £500+ including fitting as it is the complete unit.Anybody know of cheaper ones or uprated ones?

I am sure I read somewhere (maybe on here) that you can just buy the damper bit now instead of the full unit.

It was a few months ago. Have a search. Hopefully you will find it.

You would need to check if this is the correct one for your car, but they tend to be about this price for a genuine part.

Sounds to me like garage is trying to relieve you of your hard earned. The dampner or donut is a separate unit on your prop shaft. They do wear out so you should only need to replace it and not the whole prop. If under warranty then let them carry on .
