[urq] Drive shaft center support bearing

[Bruce Bell]

This was from Brandon Rudack several years ago.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a few years since I rebuilt the driveshaft in my '88 90Q  and the
time has come again, in a 4kq this time.

The first time around I used a Borg-Warner U-joint PN:114-306 which had the
same cup dimensions but was a little short. The shortness didn't bother me
but the lack of a zerk fitting to grease it did.  So I'm here with news of a
greasable U-joint.

OEM Lobro:
OD cup: 26.0mm
overall width:  69.8mm
zerk location: center of joint

Neapco PN 1-0013 for '65-'87 Toyota car and '84/'85 2WD Toyota truck OD cup:
26.0mm Overall width:  66.4mm zerk location:  end of one cup

Originally to make up for the length difference I found some appropriate
washers to use as shims. Worked fine for 20,000miles until a Pontaic Grand
Am ruined the whole car....
 
Oh, and to make this post complete:

BMW center carrier bearing with mount (called drive shaft center support):
PN: 26 12 1 209 532  

Hope this helps someone

Good all.

Does any one have a good source for purchasing a drive
shaft center support bearing??  Would appreciate a
phone number if one knows one.  Also, how difficult is
to replace the bearing once you have the drive shaft
off?  Thanks in advance.
