O/s driveshafts plus one more

[cbr1100xx]

When I was crawling around under the car I noticed that there is a bearing or similar in the middle of the o/s driveshaft.
Upon wiggling the driveshaft I noticed there is some play in this bearing and it looks quite dry.
Is this bearing replaceable or is it a new driveshaft?

2nd , now everything is back together the steering wheel is slightly off centre.
Is this just tracking?
Looking at the old stuff that came off it seems that the n/s was a 75 shock and spring and this was on the car the last time it was tracked so was wondering if the difference in shocks has caused this.

Thanks in advance

Ps. Anyone got a linky to the plastic screw things for the inner wheel liners

Replacement of any front suspension components should be followed by a tracking check/adjustment.

The wheel arch liners use two different size push rivets. I can'tbe certain of the sizes, but I think the majority are 8mm and the two going into the subframe underneath are 10mm. You should measure the receiving holes in the body panels/subframe to be sure. You can then buy suitable rivets from eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...ivets&_sacat=0

Just a quick follow up on this , t c was right 8mm inside the wing and a 10mm one on the subframe.

Correct, the subframe ones are the same size as the one that hold the rear bumper on (And the washer bottle) In case you want to garb a few on your next scrapyard visit
