3580-47 Center Support Bearing 25-141739X Bearing ID: 47×21 1.850 x 0.827 Mounting Holes: 7.620 Dodge / Mercedes Sprinter Vans CBMS4721196 , N214734

The 3580-47 Center Support Bearing is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of the driveline in Dodge and Mercedes Sprinter Vans. This bearing supports the two-piece driveshaft at its midpoint, ensuring proper alignment and minimizing any potential whip during operation. With a bearing ID of 1.850 inches, this part is specifically designed for vehicles manufactured between 2000 and 2006.

When installing the 3580-47, pay close attention to the center-to-base dimension of 2.700 inches. This measurement is crucial as it prevents any unwanted changes to the driveshaft’s operating angle. Additionally, the center-to-center distance of the mounting holes is 7.625 inches, which is vital for proper fitment. A common mistake during installation is pre-loading the rubber isolator; ensure that the mounting bracket is aligned before tightening to avoid driveline vibration.

• Check the bearing ID of 1.850″ for compatibility.
• Ensure the center-to-base height is 2.700″ to maintain the correct angle.
• Align the mounting bracket before tightening to prevent pre-load.
• Inspect the rubber isolator for deterioration to avoid vibration issues.

Failure symptoms like vibration at highway speeds or bearing noise often indicate that the isolator has collapsed or hardened. Regular checks can help identify these issues before they lead to more significant driveline problems. The 3580-47 is not just a replacement part; it’s a key player in ensuring the smooth operation of your Sprinter Van’s driveline.
