Full Description
Q: Is the 9980-41 the same as the 9980-54 -- both show 1.181" bore and 2.125" height? A: No. Both have the same bore and height but differ in bracket configuration for different Subaru model applications. Confirm via the Subaru OEM part number from the removed bearing. The most reliable method is to photograph both the front and side profile of the removed bracket and compare against the supplier's product images.
Q: What causes premature failure of Subaru AWD center support bearings on Outback models? A: The Outback's higher ride height and longer suspension travel create greater propshaft angle variation compared to the Legacy sedan. This additional angle range increases the cyclic bending stress on the center bearing. Combined with the constant AWD rotation load, Outback center bearings in rough-road use may require replacement at 60,000--80,000 miles versus 100,000+ miles on sedan models.
Q: What torque spec applies to the 9980-41 bracket bolts on Subaru? A: Subaru specifies the center bearing bracket bolts at approximately 35--45 Nm (26--33 ft-lb) depending on the bolt size and model year. Refer to the Subaru factory service manual for your specific chassis; retorque after the first 500 miles.
