- I have to change out the center bearing on my 1971 Chevy and it is time for an upgrade. The old center bearing was not handling the power so it is time to install one from Summit Racing. A definite upgrade.
Thanks for the video as it helped!!! Replaced mine today and took no more than 3 hrs with a stubborn spline and knuckle. 👍
Sometimes that old stuff is hard to get apart. Thanks for watching. Stevo
Great video. I just ordered the same part and will be having a good time with it on Saturday. Thanks for the video!
Thank you 🙏🏽 this is exactly what I needed to see. About to do mine with out a lot of space
Good luck with your installation. Worth the effort. Stevo
now thats an upgraded part
Great looking part as well.
How's she goin'? Nice work changing out that gearing. The one you used to replace it is a fine looking piece!!! A lot more heavy duty eh!! I hope you get way more and 1500 miles on this one. Thanks for posting and take care!
Thanks 👍
"That just pops right off". After glowing cherry red and a press maybe. Thanks for the video though!
This bearing is lasting. Way better than the remanufactured ones. Thanks. Stevo
Great looking center joint. However, have you learned nothing from Bruce the Great Pender? The washer you dropped is under the bench all the way back to the wall. Trust me, it is true.
I had a bit of a vibration on my vehicle and it was a cracked harmonic balancer. Good luck on finding the vibration. Thanks for the video's.
Finding those vibrations can be difficult. Wow lucky to find a crack on your balancer
Just watched this 2 years agter you posted. How is it holding up? Also do you have a part number fot that bearing? I need to replace mine and would rather use this stout piece.
It has been working out great. With those cheap OEM ones I would only get about 1200 miles out of them. I bought it from Summit and it is an Inland Empire Driveline iE210527XS. Hope this helps. Thanks. Stevo
Replace the 283 with a built 327 in a 64 Chevy Belair and tear up one of those hanger bearings in less than a week LOL
You are right on that.
If possible, can you please supply the Summit Racing part number, cannot find this item on their website? Thank you!
It is an Inland Empire Driveline bearing IE210527XS. Hope this points you in the right direction
Wouldn't that transfer more vibration to the frame? I'm looking to replace my c20s support bearing as well
It has made a big difference for me. I was only getting 1200 miles out of those cheap OEM ones. Have not noticed any new vibrations. Thanks Stevo J
Hows working after 10 months?🤔
Still working great. Was under the truck checking on things a couple weeks ago and still tight. Thanks Stevo
"the rubber shrunk" now u paying child support
Ya they don't make rubbers like they use to. Can't trust anything anymore. Great comment. Stevo
Do you have a link to buying a bearing?!
The bearing is an Inland Empire Bearing IE210527XS. I purchased it from Summit Racing.
How did that bearing hold up. I've been looking at upgrading from the oem bearing in my son's 68 gmc lwb. We swapped in a new LS M6.0 with a rebuilt 4L80e and that old style oem carrier bearing just seems flimsy as hell. I've changed out many myself and like the idea of the aluminum one piece with urethane around the bearing looks great but where does the lateral movement in the driveline go ? 😮 Most of you might agree the change of angle as the rear axle goes up and down requires slip in the length of the driveshaft ( hence the "slip yoke" at the forward end of the driveshaft ) seems to me you will be attempting to flex the solid steel cross member that new style hanger bearing is attached to. Over time this is likely to produce a stress fracture. I read elsewhere this lateral movement is between 1/2" to 3/4" depending on height of the rear springs. Lowered suspension likely has less than 1/2" movement. Honestly interested how these solid bearings are working out
