can i get some info on the center support bearing??

JZA70dood · 07-31-2009, 09:47 PM

ok so my center support bearing on mydshaft is goin out..
no auto parts place can get this part for me and toyota of knox want $290 for it..
i was wondering what my options are besides spendin $290 for it..
is the csb diff on the nonturbo dshaft?
could i get a csb off of a gs300 or something and it work..?
i wanted to just have it welded into a 1 piece but the guys at the local driveline shop said no.. we wont touch a toyota..?

what are my options?
thnx

what i ended up doing was getting one from o'rielys . you have to put the new bearing in the old housing but if you can weld or know someone who can you only spend about 100 bucks. Hope this helps!

well i just drove to asheville nc to get a whole dshaft used and the csb (was good)..
yeah right..
just wasted 4hrs to get there and back and the money i bought it for and the time at the shop puttin it on..

its gettin very frustrating..
dnt get me wrong i love the car and the power it has to offer but this dshaft stuff is really gettin to me..
it would be a diff story if i could just get the part i need and be done..
but no.. it doesnt work out that way..

but yeah thnx for the reply but all the local shops here say no can do..
discontinued item..

can any one else help??

I'm surprised a driveline shop would refuse work. I've seen places on the web that offer 1-piece drive shafts for Supras, but cannot seem to find them right now. I have an original driveshaft out of a parts car I purchased last year as a spare for my original. One idea was to take it to a driveline shop here in Atlanta to have it converted to a 1-piece. Basically take the two joints at the end, and have a new shaft welded in-between. I guess now I have to check to see if I can find a place to do it.

id deff look into it if i were u..
if they do it then it would be much cheaper than buying a aftermarket..
im just gonna keep lookin..
maybe ill luck upp and find a shop that will do it or mind a dshaft at a ok price..

yea it is to bad no one will do it because it only takes about twenty mins. drill out 4 spot welds,spread it open replace the bearing/isolator assy then push it back together. if you keep the housing square the mount bolt will take care of welding it back together. the part # is 8588 for the new one.no vibrations after but that was w/my 7m dont know about the 1jz yet
