I am in the process of rebuilding my driveshaft and carrier bearing assembly for my 903 Phaeton and have come across a part that I am having trouble identifying.

This half-moon shim(?) was sandwiched between the carrier bearing support and the center frame crossmember on the car. It was installed on the bottom half of the bearing from the 3 o'clock position to the 9 o'clock position when looking from the back of the car forward.

The flat edge of the half-moon shim was not orientated to match up with either of the flat edges of the carrier bearing support.

Is this a factory part? Or possibly a factory part that was cut and modified?

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thank you!

Stan
