This rigid driveshaft center support bearing for the BMW E36 and E46 is billet-machined and replaces the stock support. The stock one holds the shaft through a thin layer of rubber: it damps vibration, but under load it does not support the shaft well enough, and over time the rubber becomes brittle and cracks.

Effects in use

  • According to the manufacturer, throttle response is more direct.
  • Gear changes are firmer and more precise.
  • Vibrations caused by shaft misalignment or rubber degradation are reduced.
Installation notes
  • First check that the differential has not shifted: the condition of its bushings and, with aftermarket ones, that they keep the factory position.
  • Press the bearing onto the shaft with a 38 mm sleeve or pipe, striking only the inner race of the bearing so you do not damage it.
  • If the bearing gets damaged or worn, the service holes let you choose a tool for replacing it.
  • Check that the driveshaft turns freely by hand, both during installation and after it is finished.
  • Loosen the engine mounts, the differential mounts and the shaft support, then turn the shaft by hand while gradually tightening everything. The shaft support is tightened last.
  • A balanced driveshaft is a good complement to the setup. If the whole system is stiffened (aluminium bushings), a new factory flex disc (guibo) is recommended instead of aluminium or polyurethane replacements, for the longest gearbox life.
