LuK 26 12 1 226 731 Drive Shaft Center Support Bearing

The LuK 26 12 1 226 731 is a drive shaft center support bearing designed to maintain proper driveshaft alignment and reduce vibration during vehicle operation. This component supports the mid-section of a two-piece driveshaft, keeping it centered and stable under load to ensure smooth, quiet power delivery to the driven wheels.

Key Features:

• OEM-quality replacement for worn or failed center support bearings
• Engineered to exact specifications for precise fit and reliable performance
• Rubber-isolated bearing mount absorbs road shock and reduces NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness)
• Sealed bearing construction resists contamination from moisture, road debris, and grease
• Direct-fit replacement requiring no modification during installation
• Manufactured by LuK, a trusted Schaeffler Group brand with decades of drivetrain expertise

The center support bearing is a critical drivetrain component — when it fails, symptoms typically include driveshaft vibration, a squeaking or grinding noise from underneath the vehicle, and accelerated wear on adjacent U-joints. Replacing the LuK 26121226731 restores proper driveshaft geometry and eliminates these issues. This part also cross-references under the OEM number 26 12 1 226 731, commonly associated with BMW applications.
