What is the Center Support Bearing all about?

While many of the cars on the road today use a front-wheel drive format, there are plenty of rear-wheel drive vehicles out there. These range from trucks to SUVs to passenger cars, and they all use drive shafts that connect the transmission to the rear differential in order to turn the rear wheels.

However, in very long drive shafts made with two sections, strains are problematic. A center support bearing is used to provide support for the shaft, reduce strain on drivetrain components, and allow the shaft to turn freely. It is a universal joint that allows free motion even if the shaft isn’t fully straight. If the center support bearing is worn, seized, or damaged, you will hear excessive squeaking noises or experience a “binding” feeling when driving.

Keep in mind:

Replacing the center support bearing will require removing at least part of the drive shaft.
Driving with a failed or failing center support bearing can cause serious damage to the transmission, the differential, or the drive shaft.

How it's done:

The vehicle is raised and supported on jack stands
The transmission drive shaft with the center support bearing is removed from vehicle
The defective center support bearing is removed from the driveshaft
The new center support bearing is installed to the driveshaft and driveshaft is re-installed
The vehicle is removed from jack stands and road tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Your center support bearing should be inspected on a regular basis (during normal maintenance, such as an oil change) for signs of wear and tear. It should be replaced by one of our expert mechanics immediately if they notice any damage.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Center Support Bearing?

Grinding/squealing noise when the vehicle is moving
A feeling of resistance/lack of performance

How important is this service?

Because the center support bearing upholds the drive shaft and ensures that it can spin freely, part failure is a serious concern. If the bearing freezes, you can easily damage transmission components, differential components, or even the drive shaft itself. We recommend immediate replacement.

Mitsubishi Lancer L4-2.0L - Brakes, Steering and Suspension Inspection - Pasadena, California

He was honest and straight to the point. I would have given him the 5th star but he did cuss a little more than I felt comfortable with. For some people that's not an issue and that doesn't take away from his great inspection and recommendation... but since this is an honest review I figured I'd be honest as well.

Mitsubishi Lancer L4-2.0L - Serpentine/Drive Belt - Orlando, Florida

This man was the greatest, he was able to look at my car, not only find the problem that I was having but also took the liberty to drive me to Advanced Auto Parts and help me exchange the part I bought for the ones I needed and saved me a good 143 dollars. Even when the Advanced Auto Parts employee was giving me a hard time for the return, he stepped in and defended me and made sure that I was refunded the correct amount of money and made sure that if the store wasn’t going to do it he would find another store that will. Overall James is a great guy and most definitely would recommend to anyone in need of car assistance. If I could give him more than 5 stars I would. He deserves a raise.

Mitsubishi Lancer L4-2.0L - Not able to change gears - Yucaipa, California

I've actually had Jay do some work on my previous vehicle and when I sw he was coming to look at my vehicle today I was super excited.. I trust what he says is wrong with my cars. I'm very picky with who works on my "babies" but I trust Jay 100%.
