Did you press them into place properly? If not seated correctly, they can be slightly off centre.

hi
more importantly did you align all the cv joints up correctely ???

[Timbo]

Is this the centre steady bearing or the universal joints ? Its the U/J's that need to be lined up Back to back, CV joints are not so critical. If you are knocking out steady bearings then it could be a seized U/J. Have you got any vibration from the prop ?

Hi thanks,
No vibration from the prop, just a grating rubbing type noise, it is
really pissing me off.
cheers
