Show original supplier description
The FAG 26121226731 is a driveshaft center support bearing engineered to provide an OEM-type replacement, restoring smooth driveline operation. This bearing is crucial for supporting both sections of the driveshaft and accommodating its necessary movement under load. Over time, the rubber suspension or the bearing itself can wear out, leading to symptoms such as a clunking noise from the center of the car, particularly noticeable when applying or releasing the throttle. It is designed to be a direct replacement for BMW part number 26121226731. The inner diameter measures 30mm. Replacing this component is often performed during clutch overhauls, short shift kit installations, or any other procedure that requires driveshaft removal. Specific fitment notes apply to various BMW models: - E36 318i: manual transmission only - E36 318ti: automatic transmission only - E36 323i: requires a 4-bolt U-joint on the driveshaft end (not CV joint) - E36 325i: manual transmission only (sedan models from 12/94 only) - E36 328i: requires a 4-bolt U-joint on the driveshaft end (not CV joint) - E36 M3 (95): manual transmission with a 4-bolt U-joint on the driveshaft end (not CV joint) - E36 M3 (96-99): manual transmission with a 4-bolt U-joint on the driveshaft end (not CV joint) - E39 528i (99-00): automatic transmission only - Z3 2.5/3.0: automatic transmission only
