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.
Replacement center support bearing for the driveshaft. Often the cause of annoying vibrations and clunking noises during take-offs. This is the OEM aluminum bracket with bearing. Applications: 1999-2005 E46 323, 325, 328, 330 models with manual, automatic, or SMG transmission (not including 325xi or 330xi models) 2001-current Z4 2.5, Z4 3.0, Z4 3.0si with manual, automatic, or SMG transmission

Center support bearings help to add some support to the driveshaft in a BMW. Because it is designed to be a two piece system, bracing needs to be added to the center to keep your driveshaft in line and tight. If you are noticing excessive vibration or gear noise in your vehicle, it may be time to replace the support bearing.

These carrier bearings support the drive shaft, with a bearing and rubber mount. Bearing fail due to mileage resulting in a howling noise, rubber mounts also fail which cause the drive shaft to bounce around.

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.
