The drive shaft bearing — also called the drive shaft rolling bearing — supports the intermediate shaft on vehicles with a split front drive arrangement, locating it against the engine block or subframe bracket. When the bearing wears, it allows the shaft to run off-centre, causing vibration through the steering wheel, accelerating CV-joint wear, and eventually producing a rumbling noise under load. Drive Shaft Rolling Bearing replacement is straightforward when the bracket and shaft are accessible. CarParts247 stocks drive shaft bearings from SKF, FAG, and Febi Bilstein for a range of front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive platforms.
The intermediate shaft bearing sits in a bracket bolted to the engine block. Wear produces subtle symptoms that worsen over time.
The bearing is pressed onto the intermediate shaft and retained in a bracket. Remove the driveshaft from the vehicle, press off the old bearing using a suitable press or bearing separator, and press the new bearing on squarely. Inspect the shaft for scoring where the bearing inner race seats — light scores can be polished out; deep grooves require shaft replacement.
Fit the new bearing into its bracket before reinstalling the shaft, and tighten the bracket bolts to the specified torque to avoid misaligning the bearing.
