The Center Support Bearing is responsible for mounting and smooth operation of the two-piece driveshaft on E21 320i, E28 533i/535i/M5, E24 635CSi.
The center support bearings (CSB) joins the two halves of the driveshaft together. There is a sealed set of ball bearings with a rubber mount and frame bolted to the chassis of the car. At some point either the bearings or rubber mount will fail, even under normal use. Symptoms include vibration or a whine/hum noise coming from the center of the car, and an audible clunk especially when pulling away from a stop. These are signs of a failing CSB and you should plan on replacing it soon. The CSB is an inexpensive fix but labor intensive so professional or experienced installation is recommended.
This is an E21, E28, and E24 center support bearing manufactured by Rein (CRP) Automotive - an original supplier to BMW for many engine and driveline components. As an OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
