Quiet a rumbling, vibrating driveline and keep the two-piece drive shaft properly located with the Timken Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing HB88558. This driveline center support bearing drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500 and 3500, the 2007-2010 Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500, and the 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The center support bearing cradles the middle of a two-piece drive shaft, letting the shaft spin freely while damping vibration. Worn bearings or a deteriorated rubber cushion can cause driveline vibration, rumble, or squeal — if that is the cause, this replaces the original unit.
