The 40134461 Center Support Bearing is a crucial component for GM applications, particularly in Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. This bearing supports a two-piece driveshaft at its midpoint, ensuring proper alignment and reducing driveline whip. With a bearing ID of 1.378″ and a center-to-base height of 1.850″, this part is engineered to maintain optimal driveline performance.

One of the standout features of the 40134461 is its mounting configuration. The center-to-center distance of 6.625″ between the mounting holes allows for precise installation, which is vital to prevent any changes in the driveshaft’s operating angle. This is particularly important in GM vehicles where driveline angles can significantly affect performance and comfort.

When installing the 40134461, be sure to avoid pre-loading the rubber isolator to prevent premature failure. Align the mounting bracket before tightening to ensure proper fitment. Symptoms of a failing center support bearing include vibrations at highway speeds, bearing noise, or visible rubber deterioration. Regular checks can help catch these issues before they escalate.
