The 1480-50 center support bearing is a crucial component for maintaining the integrity of the driveshaft in Volvo vehicles, particularly the S70 and V70 models produced between 1998 and 2000. With a bearing ID of 0.985″, this part ensures a snug fit that is essential for optimal performance. The center-to-center distance between the mounting holes measures 3.000″, which provides reliable support and alignment for the two-piece driveshaft, reducing the risk of whip and vibration.
Engineers designed the 1480-50 with a center bearing to base height of 2.437″ to maintain the correct operating angle of the driveshaft. This dimension is critical; if the height is incorrect, it can lead to misalignment and increased wear on the driveline components. The rubber isolator in this bearing absorbs vibrations, and any deterioration or collapse of this isolator can lead to noticeable driveline vibrations at highway speeds.
- Application: Fits Volvo S70 and V70 (1998-2000)
- Bearing ID: 0.985″ for precise fit
- Center-to-base height: 2.437″ to maintain alignment
- Mounting hole spacing: 3.000″ for reliable support
- Installation tip: Align the mounting bracket before tightening to avoid pre-loading the rubber isolator
In summary, the 1480-50 center support bearing is engineered to provide the necessary support and stability for Volvo’s driveline, ensuring a smooth and reliable driving experience.
