A center support bearing holds the middle of a two-piece driveshaft in alignment and lets the shaft rotate freely. If a worn center support bearing is causing driveline vibration or noise, this unit replaces it.
Signs this part may need replacing: You may notice vibration or a rumbling noise from under the vehicle, a clunk when pulling away from a stop, or excess play in the driveshaft. Other driveline components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the bearing.
