Driveshaft Center Support Bearing

[JeepnJohnny]

Hey Guys,

I need to replace my driveshaft center support bearing (mount and bearing) I’ve found many Mopar ones online that look like a match, but nothing that lists it as the gladiator version. Do you know where I can find one?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
John

Try hitting up Bennie @AllMoparParts.com here on the Board.

He will give you a definitive answer and smile the whole time.

On the Gladiator JT, the center support bearing is not a separate serviceable part and is part of the whole rear driveshaft assembly. You have to get the whole rear driveshaft assembly to get a replacement center support bearing.

Check and see if your truck is covered by the driveshaft replacement recall. If not, look at one of the aftermarket driveshafts that don't use a center support and bearing.

That’s too bad. Thanks for your reply.

I did read about the recall, not sure if it’s covered, but worth a try.
Thanks

What Mr. Bill said and look for a aftermarket one piece. There is some used OEM ones on EBAY but that has it's own risk.

Are you out of warranty?

No, I’m still in warranty.

So your very first post is a question about where to find something which is likely under warranty? Welcome to the forum. BTW- Where did you get that photo? It’s not from a Gladiator...

Agreed. Kind of wish I knew who in FCA engineering made that decision and smack them. AFAIK, just about every other brand truck with two piece rear drive shafts run with a replaceable center support bearing.

jeep has been able to get a little lazy. I hope the bronco causes toyota and jeep to get hungry again.

Jeep doesn’t give a crap about that. They source the drive components from suppliers, and they build them as cheap as they can. It’s all about profit.

That photo was most certainly taken from a gladiator. I was there. It’s my buddies. What I have found out recently is that he had his driveshafts upgraded when he had his lift, wheels, regearing, and tires put on. I didn’t know that when I made the post.
