Product Information

Supports the center section of the drive shaft under the body of your BMW, a common replacement item on higher mileage vehicles, includes center support bearing

The drive shaft support bearing supports the drive shaft. The bearing which is in the center of the rubber support can fail with high mileage which cause whining sounds. In addition the rubber mount which houses the bearing can also fail which will cause the drive shaft to bounce around.

If your BMW makes thudding noises while accelerating and it sounds like the noise is emanating under your seat it's likely due to a failed center support. When replacing the center support bearing also order (1) 26127511140 Butyl cord Terostat 2460.

Note: It is absolutely vital to mark each section of the drive shaft as it is a balanced assembly. Failure to do so can result in drive line vibrations and other issue.

Drive Shaft Center Support

A drive shaft center support is a bearing assembly that provides support to the drive shaft in vehicles with a two-piece or longer drive shaft configuration. This support, usually located in the middle of the drive shaft, stabilizes it, reduces vibrations, and helps maintain alignment, ensuring smooth power transfer from the transmission to the rear wheels. Replacing a failing drive shaft center support promptly is crucial to maintaining vehicle stability, drivetrain alignment, and overall smoothness during acceleration and driving.

Drive Shaft Center Support Failure Symptoms
  • Vibration and Shaking: A worn or damaged center support can cause noticeable vibrations or shaking, especially when accelerating or driving at higher speeds
  • Clunking or Banging Noises: A failing center support bearing may cause clunking, banging, or thudding noises under the vehicle, often due to increased drive shaft movement or metal-on-metal contact

Fixed my issue
Fixed the horrible driveshaft slap that developed over a few weeks on my 08 550i M-Sport. Very involved job but fine for a driveway DIYer over a weekend/week if you can spare the downtime. My old center support was completely destroyed/torn through.
