2880-62 – 62 – Center Support Bearing – 07 08 Chrysler Pacifica Application – 1.181″ ID

Q: What is the difference between 2880-62 (07--08) and 2880-63 (03--08) for the Pacifica? A: The 2880-63 covers the full 2003--2008 Pacifica production range. The 2880-62 is specific to the 2007--2008 model years. This suggests Chrysler made a bracket geometry change in the 2007 model year that requires a different SKU. If your Pacifica is a 2007 or 2008, the 2880-62 is the confirmed SKU; for 2003--2006, use the 2880-63.

Q: The Pacifica center support bearing bracket is corroded solid. How do I remove it without damaging the crossmember? A: Apply penetrating oil (PB Blaster or equivalent) to all bracket fasteners 24 hours before the job. Use an impact driver with a hex bit to break loose rusted fasteners -- standard torque wrenches will fail on heavily corroded Chrysler fasteners. If fasteners shear, extraction screws and a left-hand drill bit set are needed. Do not cut the crossmember to remove a seized bracket.

Q: Does the 2880-62 include the bracket hardware? A: The 2880-62 is typically supplied as the bearing assembly only. New bracket fasteners (M8 or M10 depending on the Pacifica crossmember) should be obtained separately -- always use new fasteners on center bearing replacements, as the originals have typically been exposed to corrosion and heat cycles.
