sicAsic Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 gentlemen, good morning. where can i purchase the protection almost round structural rubber that protects the drive shaft from hitting metal to metal? my truck is at the mechanic shop at the moment, i'm almost done with the restoration and should be able to share pictures shortly. thank you for your time, giles Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I am assuming that you mean the rubber isolator that sits about mid-driveshaft....called a center support bearing?... :blink: Check Rock Auto.... rockauto.com they may have the best price? I made a one piece shaft for mine and eliminated the rubber altogether. :cool: Quote Link to comment
green lantern Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 this is the center support bearing mine was no good as you can see it is about $80 for the part and an hour to replace with pulling the shaft and installing if your going to pull the shaft do what i did and go ahead and spend the money on new hardware (nuts and bolts) and cv's Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I cut a 2" strip of conveyor belt long enough to wrap around it and strapped it down with a gear clamp big enough to reach around. When done it has to be big enough that the U shapped strap clamps it down firmly. It was meant to be temp. but it worked so well I just left it. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I would spend the money now & get a 720 1 piece drive shaft & have it cut in length to fit. The center support bearings are getting harder to find. Quote Link to comment
