Keep your two-piece driveshaft spinning smoothly and quietly with the Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Bearing Support Assembly (P/N 101-8100, also written 1018100). This center support cradles the midpoint of the driveshaft, letting the shaft rotate while helping isolate driveline vibration and locating the shaft between the transmission and the rear axle. It installs as an application-specific, direct-fit replacement for a wide range of BMW models, including the 2008-2013 128I, 2008-2010 135I, 2007-2016 328I, 2013-2016 320I, 2014-2016 428I and 435I, and the 2013-2016 X1. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered models, years, and engine details.
Worn center-support bearings and rubber often show up as a vibration, humming or growling that changes with speed, or a clunk felt during acceleration. If a failed center support is the cause of those symptoms, this assembly replaces it.
