A worn-out center support bearing can lead to some annoying side-effects. The driveshaft on BMWs is broken up into 2 sections. The center support bearing is where the 2 sections meet. It consists of a metal bearing in the middle that is surrounded by vibration-absorbing rubber. As the vehicle ages the rubber becomes weak and rips away from the bearing. The result is a vibration and a bad thumping or knocking sound.
The flex disc (aka universal joint or guibo/giubo) and center support bearing (CSB) often fail over time. A failing flex disc can cause clunks when shifting from park to reverse/drive, driveline slop, and excess vibrations when accelerating. A failing CSB will often cause a rhythmic vibration under the center console that increases in tempo as the car increases in speed, squealing or grinding noises from the bearing failure, and driveline vibration/shaking at higher speeds. When replacing either of these items, it is best to replace the associated components to ensure your driveshaft is properly supported and connected to the transmission output and differential input. This kit includes all of the basic items needed to complete this service in your BMW.
