I hung the middle bearing lower with washers to test it and it got better. Now one from Iveco (This is from a light Italian panel van) is installed, which is much firmer in the rubber suspension. I already have a spacer there to test the position of the Driveshaft.
Good thinking to try changing the centre bearing. Do you think that the manufactured reproduction of the original centre bearing is inferior quality compared to the original?
