The 1680-13 Center Support Bearing is specifically engineered for the Mitsubishi Endeavor, providing essential support for the front center bearing on a three-piece driveshaft. With a bearing ID of 1.181″ and a center-to-center mounting hole spacing of 6.693″, this component plays a critical role in maintaining proper alignment and reducing driveline whip.
One of the standout features of the 1680-13 is its rubber isolator, which effectively absorbs vibrations that can lead to driveline noise and discomfort. If the rubber deteriorates or collapses, you may notice symptoms such as increased vibration at highway speeds or unusual bearing noise. It’s crucial to replace the bearing promptly to avoid further driveline issues.
When installing the 1680-13, ensure that you do not pre-load the rubber isolator. Proper alignment of the mounting bracket before tightening is essential to maintain the correct center-to-base dimension, which prevents altering the driveshaft’s operating angle. Here are some key points to remember:
- Application: Mitsubishi Endeavor
- Bearing ID: 1.181″
- Center-to-Center Mount Hole Spacing: 6.693″
- Installation Tip: Align the mounting bracket before tightening
- Monitor for vibration and noise as signs of wear
Choosing the right center support bearing is critical. Using a part that does not match the specifications of the 1680-13 can lead to misalignment and potential driveline failure. Trust this component to deliver the performance and reliability your Mitsubishi Endeavor needs.
