Help keep a multi-piece drive shaft aligned and turning with minimal friction with the Schaeffler Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing CH0162. This hanger bearing, which Schaeffler describes as a propshaft center bearing, is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 2003-2004 Ford E-350 Club Wagon, 1999-2004 Ford E-350 Super Duty and 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. For engine details, see the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Schaeffler engineers its hanger bearings to hold the driveshaft in precise alignment and to support shafts and axles with as little friction and wear as possible, even in harsh conditions. The bearing also absorbs and isolates vibration, which helps protect the driveline and contributes to a smooth, comfortable ride.
- Advanced engineering: Designed to handle both axial and radial loads, which supports driveline stability and reliability.
- Optimal support: Lets the shaft rotate efficiently with minimal resistance and helps maintain driveline integrity.
- Precise alignment: Engineered for smooth power transmission and to help minimize wear and tear.
- Vibration absorption: Helps shield the driveline from damage and supports a smoother ride.
A worn center support bearing may cause vibration that builds with speed, a clunk when pulling away, or a rumbling or squealing noise from beneath the vehicle. If the center bearing is the cause, the CH0162 replaces it. Diagnose the driveline before replacing parts.
