Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Bearing Support Assembly P/N:101-8100
Keep the driveshaft spinning smoothly and quietly with the Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Bearing Support Assembly (P/N 101-7362). This center support carries the driveshaft at its midpoint on a multi-piece shaft, using its bearing to let the shaft rotate freely while the rubber isolator dampens driveline vibration. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2010 Audi Q7 and the 2004-2010 Volkswagen Touareg — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Signs the original support may need replacing include a rumbling or howling noise that rises with vehicle speed, driveline vibration, or a clunk when accelerating. If a worn center support bearing or deteriorated isolator is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Beck/Arnley sources parts for foreign-nameplate vehicles with attention to form, fit and function.
