The drive shaft bearing is a structural part located on the drive shaft, and designed to support the shaft in the optimal position. The task of a bearing is also to transmit and receive loads, move along an axis with low resistance, and fix intermediate components.

The FEBEST brand Bearing, drive shaft consists of many components. Among them, there are several main ones, including the bearing. A part is critical to the full operation of the driveline. Thanks to this element, the shaft is fixed, but at the same time, it retains the ability to rotate. Additionally, this element of the car contributes to a uniform distribution of the load throughout the drive.

The operation of the drive shaft bearing

The drive shaft bearing is characterized by the simplest possible design: a metal housing and a bushing. The space between the shaft inserted into this part and the sleeve is filled with a certain substance or lubricant. Thanks to this, the shaft can easily and also rotate freely.

The bearing is vibration-resistant, well protected against various chemical environments, and very easy to install. This element of the vehicle has a long service life. However, if the car owner actively exploits the car and prefers an aggressive driving style, the life of the part is significantly reduced.
