Center Support Bearing

The stock center support bearing carrier is engineered to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in the cabin by loosely securing the center bearing with a soft rubber bushing. However, this design allows the driveshaft to move off-center during launches and shifts, reducing throttle response and causing drivetrain oscillations. Over time, the rubber bushing can sag or dry rot, leading to misalignment of the driveshaft.
Prevent or fix this common problem with JXB Performance's Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Upgrade! This upgrade features a simple yet highly effective 2-piece design that makes installation and bushing replacement effortless. The stock carrier is cut away, and the JXB bushings securely "clamp" the driveshaft bearing in place, ensuring constant driveshaft alignment.
The Street bushing option from JXB is the most popular choice, offering a significant improvement over the stock design while keeping NVH levels minimal.
Note: Some light NVH, such as a soft hum, may occur at certain speeds. However, with a modified exhaust or open windows, it’s unlikely to be noticeable.
Installation is straightforward and doesn’t require removing the driveshaft. The 2-piece design clamps directly onto the OEM bearing, though removing the old carrier will require a cutting tool.

The URO Driveshaft Center Mount - BMW E30 is an essential component for maintaining drivetrain stability and reducing vibration. This high-quality center support mount includes a pre-installed bearing within a durable rubber housing, ensuring proper alignment and smooth rotation of the driveshaft. Over time, worn or damaged mounts can lead to excessive drivetrain movement, noise, and premature wear on other components. Replacing the center mount restores drivetrain integrity, providing a smoother and more reliable driving experience.
The carrier bearing is essential for supporting the center of the drive shaft between the transmission and the differential. With mileage and age, bearing failure can occur, resulting in noticeable howling noises. Additionally, degradation of the rubber mount may lead to increased vibrations from the drive shaft.
During the disassembly of the drive shaft, it's crucial to carefully mark each section, as they are balanced as a cohesive unit. This meticulous approach ensures seamless reassembly and preserves the optimal performance of your vehicle's drivetrain.
