You will need an alignment tool to keep the driveshaft straight while you measure and shim the center support bearing. If you do this incorrectly you will know it because the vibration is impressive.

Zelenda Metric in NY sells the Audi tools. I bet it is expensive because it is big. I made one that did the job.
