Rein 26-11-1-206-502 Driveshaft Center Support Bearing

The Rein 26-11-1-206-502 is a complete driveshaft center support bearing assembly designed for BMW vehicles with two-piece driveshafts. This critical drivetrain component mounts to the vehicle's frame or crossmember and provides essential support at the midpoint where the front and rear driveshaft sections connect, ensuring proper alignment and reducing harmful vibrations during operation.

Key Features:

• Complete center support assembly with pre-lubricated sealed ball bearing
• Durable rubber cushion mount isolates vibration and allows controlled vertical driveline movement
• Manufactured to OE specifications for proper driveshaft alignment and universal joint angles
• High-quality elastomer and metal construction withstands intense undercar heat and stress
• Sealed-for-life bearing design resists moisture, road salt, and contaminants
• Restores proper driveshaft positioning to eliminate clunking, shuddering, and vibration

This Rein replacement bearing (also known as AVS0052R) replaces BMW OEM part number 26-11-1-206-502 (26111206502). A worn or failed center support bearing can cause noticeable symptoms including clunking noises during acceleration or deceleration, vibration felt through the vehicle floor, and a shuddering sensation when accelerating from a stop. Timely replacement prevents damage to the driveshaft, differential, and transmission components.
