Center Support Bearing

[gtsfirefighter]

I'm opting to keep my two piece driveshaft and just replace the center bearing. I want to regain and retain a silky smooth driveline. An OEM one is running about $240. I've found an aftermarket bearing for $65. There's one on eBay just like it for $75. Has anyone tried these non Toyota brand bearings? Does anyone know the differences?

And this one:

Both look the same. Looks pretty decent. Atleast the mounting tabs are in the correct place.


Personally i think my oem toyota was well worth it. I only paid 180 when i worked for toyota. But its been on both my na and turbo car for past 8 years and close to 100k with no issues.

Could also hitup champion toyota or elmhurst.

Elmhurst is always my first "go to" place. Curt quoted me $240. I have found it just a little cheaper on various Toyota parts websites. I don't have a problem paying that for a true oem part but the thrifty side of me is very curious as to the quality of these units.

I decided to just take one for the team and try it out so I bought the non-ebay one last night. I'll keep yall advised.

Been using one of those for few thousand miles and have had no issues yet.

Sweet! Thanks

I did buy it and install it on the car. Seems just fine so far although it's not my daily driver. Definitely a lot smoother going in and out of gear. (Automatic)

I've got one of these in my car now and it's been great. No modification necessary at all. $30. I'm a few thousand miles in and about 6 months with no issues.
