Roman arzate Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I like to know if there is a different centre support bearing I can install in my truck, I can't find any Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Only one confirmed bearing has ever gone bad. (metalmonkey) The bearings aren't the problem, it's the soft rubber surround that rots away. What I and several others have done is wrap a long strip of rubber belt around the stationery part, like a jellyroll, and clamp it down. Make sure it's snug. This part does not spin, the drive shaft spins inside, this just supports it. Mine was meant to be a temporary fir but it worked so perfectly I forgot about it for years. Never had a problem with it. I used a strip of conveyor belt but anything will do. Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Go past the first idea, the second one is the better choice.. cheaper and available.... Quote Link to comment
