Default you could always take it to the dealer for adjustment

Since they have the oem driveshaft alignment tool.. You would need to pay them for removing the cat back exhaust since it's in the way. Then they could install the factory alignment tool to ensure the center support bearing has the exact amount of shims needed.

Default Hey Dave

Believe it or not, I've been considering doing this. I really really didn't want to have the dealership touch my car (for both price and monetary reasons) but you know, if it works I'd be willing to spend a few hundred bucks. What do you think they'd charge for an adjustment?

Default Sorry for the delay

Contact these guys:

Tell them you want an ABS tone ring for a 2000 Audi S4 and that Steve Feeley mentioned they had surplus ones from a special order.

Thanks Steve. Do you know if it's a pain to install it?

Yeah, that doesn't work for me...I wish it was that easy. Yes, they sent me 2 different shafts.

Default Hey Nope-If you are near them, just bring your shaft/CV and they'll bang it on.

Just gotta whack it on really.
