Default propshaft centre bearing

Think that my prop bearing is on its way out.
Rumble coming from the bearing area on over run and also vibration when cruising along (30-40 mph) in high gears.

What needs to be done to change the bearing?

If I bought a second hand prop will one from a wrx fit ? mines is a 97 uk turbo

What costs are involved in replacing the bearing?

Thanks

The bearing is easy enough to change but the cost of a new one (£215.00) means that you won't want to go that route.

Your best bet is to by a good secondhand propshaft from somewhere.

A prop from any "classic" Impreza with a 4 wheel drive Manual Gearbox will fit, even if it's an import.
