ABSTRACT:
An intermediate bearing support for a drive shaft of a vehicle is set forth. An intermediate drive shaft support is required when three or more universal joints are embodied in a drive line between a transmission and a differential. The new drive shaft support is more compact, uses fewer parts which is brought about in part by the use of symmetrical designs, and is easier to assemble on a drive shaft. Bearing shields or flingers of the support are mounted on the drive shaft adjacent a bearing of the support so that the shields do not have to be specially designed to fit particular drive shafts. For replacement purposes, one replacement kit can be used to rebuild a number of different drive shaft bearing supports.
