5017405 – Center Support Bearing – Ford Application – 1.574″ ID – 2.524″ Center Bearing To Base

The 5017405 center support bearing supports the midshaft section of a two-piece driveshaft, keeping it running concentric with the vehicle's drivetrain axis. When this bearing fails, the midshaft droops and the driveshaft angles change — you'll feel it as a vibration that gets progressively worse at highway speed. The 5017405 center support bearing is the correct replacement for FORD series applications, with the exact inner diameter and mount hole spacing your application requires.

5017405 Center Support Bearing — FORD Series Dimensions & Mount Specs

The 5017405 center support bearing specs: 1.574" inner dia | 2.524" center-to-base | 6.620" mount spacing. FLAT BOTTOM ON BRACKET. ( SITS FLAT ) Used on F250 & F350 application. Application: FORD series. Inner diameter must match the midshaft stub OD exactly — a loose fit allows the bearing to walk on the shaft, which causes vibration and accelerates wear on both the bearing race and the shaft surface. Mount hole center-to-center spacing must match your crossmember bracket.

When replacing a center support bearing on a two-piece shaft, replace the complete assembly — bearing race, rubber isolator, and bracket together. A new race in an old hardened rubber mount still vibrates. The rubber isolator is what actually absorbs the midshaft movement; without it the bearing transmits every frequency directly to the frame.
