Center Bearing

The driveshaft of a rear wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle supplies power from the transmission to the rear center gears and then to each rear tire and wheel. The connection between the two sections of the driveshaft is a center support bearing and it has a “U” shaped metal bracket with a solid-rubber machined bearing on the inside. This bearing keeps both parts of the driveshaft compact to reduce harmonic vibration when the vehicle is accelerating.
