i've never seen one go bad on a c63. Usually only really high mileage/old 150k/15yr old rwd, or 70kmi+ 4matic front axle shaft boots. (a lot more stress and sharper turning Maybe something from the road flew up and sliced it.

maybe road ive never heard of this happen either

Oh well replacing it now

I had to replace my entire drive shaft at 55k miles.

i think he's refering to the axle halfshaft - cv boots.

That's weird you needed a driveshaft. center carrier bearing go bad or what? details on that?

I was getting a rattle on acceleration. I had the center bearing go bad on the Porsche so I suggested that to my rep and they ended up replacing the driveshaft under warranty. I didn't bother to ask details. I could check my work order if you are really curious.

Mr747,

Was it damaged from road debris or did it crack and split open?

roadtalontsi,

There is a boot on the drive shaft

It is number 150 in the picture below:
