ABSTRACT:
An intermediate bearing support for a drive shaft of a vehicle is required when three or more universal joints are embodied in a driveline between a transmission and a differential. Special bearings of particular dimensions and having wider inner races than outer race have heretofore been employed for this particular application. Such bearings are substantially more costly than standard ones. The new drive shaft support uses standard bearings with special adapter components for use with the supports. The adapter components include special adapter rings located between the inner race of the bearing and the shaft being supported. In most instances, adapter rings are also located around the outer race between the outer race and a grease retainer and rubber mounted block of the support.
