Drive Shaft Support Bearings

Reinforce Your Drivetrain: Drive Shaft Support Bearings at RPM Moto

If your bike or UTV has a shaft drive, the Drive Shaft Support Bearing (also known as a center or carrier bearing) is vital to keeping the system running smoothly. RPM Moto stocks high-quality support bearings to enhance drivetrain reliability and reduce vibration.

What Do Drive Shaft Support Bearings Do?

  • Stabilise the Shaft – These bearings mount mid-shaft to support the drive line, ensuring alignment and reducing flex
  • Cancel Vibration – A rubber-sealed bearing cushions shaft movement, reducing vibration felt at the rider station
  • Protect U‑Joints & Gearboxes – Proper support prevents excessive strain and early wear on universal joints and gear teeth.

Signs Your Bearing Needs Replacing

Watch for these symptoms:

  • Noticeable vibration or shuddering during acceleration or deceleration
  • A grinding or rumbling noise along the driveline
  • Visible wear—rubber cracking, grease leaks, heat damage, or excessive shaft play

Choosing the Right Bearing

  1. Match your machine – RPM Moto offers model-specific bearings for Polaris, Can‑Am, Honda, UTVs, and motorcycles.
  2. OEM vs Heavy‑Duty – Standard OEM-type bearings suit daily riding; upgraded sealed versions handle harsher environments.
  3. Inspect supporting parts – Replace worn shaft splines, U-joints, or housing parts at the same time.
