ABSTRACT:
An improved bearing assembly is disclosed for supporting a split drive shaft of a vehicle. An inner, rotatable race of a bearing engages the drive shaft and an outer, non-rotatable race of the bearing is mounted in a resilient rubber block. The rubber block, which is connected through a bracket to the vehicle frame, permits limited radial and axial movement of the bearing. The bracket has a flange spaced from the rubber block to the rear of the bearing which limits axial movement of the bearing to prevent the drive shaft from pulling the bearing from the rubber block.
