1480-15LR Carrier Bearing Land Rover Freelander CBLR 1996-2006 Center Support Bearing MK1 OE: TOQ000040, TOQ000010

The 1480-15LR Center Support Bearing is essential for maintaining the integrity of your Land Rover Freelander MK1 driveshaft. With a bearing ID of 1.181 inches, this component ensures a snug fit that supports the two-piece driveshaft at its midpoint. This alignment is crucial for reducing driveline whip and maintaining optimal performance.

Measuring 2.375 inches from the center bearing to the base, this dimension is critical. It prevents any unwanted changes in the driveshaft’s operating angle during installation, which can lead to premature wear or failure. Additionally, the center-to-center distance of 5.400 inches between the mounting holes allows for precise alignment, ensuring that the bearing is securely mounted without pre-loading the rubber isolator.

Failure symptoms such as vibration at highway speeds or bearing noise can indicate issues with this component. A deteriorated rubber isolator can lead to increased vibration, affecting the overall driveline performance. Therefore, it’s vital to inspect this bearing regularly, especially in vehicles like the Land Rover Freelander MK1, which this part fits from 1996 to 2006 (except V6 models).

• 1.181″ ID for a precise fit
• 2.375″ center-to-base height to maintain driveline angle
• 5.400″ center-to-center mounting hole spacing for easy installation
• Check for rubber deterioration to avoid vibration issues
• Align mounting bracket before tightening to prevent pre-load

In summary, the 1480-15LR Center Support Bearing is a critical component for ensuring the longevity and performance of your Land Rover Freelander’s driveline.
