I HAVE A ALPHA 1 GEN 2 UNIT THAT IS KICKING MY #$^@^. WHEN THE UNIT IS TRIMED DOWN FULL AND TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT FULL IT MAKES A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GIMBLE BEARING. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE .
1. REPLACED THE BEARING TWICE. BOTH INSTALLED USING ALL PROPER TOOLS AND ALIGNED.
2.CHECKED YOKE SHAFT AND U-JOINTS FOR SLACK, FOUND NONE.
3. CHECKED THE UPPER DRIVE BEARING FOR SLACK, FOUND NONE.
IF THE UNIT IS TRIMED UP OR TURNED JUST A HAIR IT WILL STOP. IT HAS BEEN IN ANOTHER SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLUM AND THEY COULDN'T FIX. HELP!!

I had 1 that someone put a coupler in that has those rubber dampers between the coupler & flywheel had 2 missing.It made the same noise.Pull the drive off ,look at the coupler-splines through the G/bearing ,crank the engine and see if it rotates and stays in line.
