Precision HB88532 Drive Shaft Center Support (Hanger) Bearing

Seems well built. I'm not giving 5 stars because the pressed in studs did not stay in place while I was tightening the nuts. I was only using hand tools and when the nut got about half way tightened down the stud started turning. It happened to both studs and so I had to knock them out and put different nuts and bolts to complete the job. I looked at my old bearing and could see that those studs were welded in a few spots so they wouldn't turn. This new one didn't appear to have that but overall it seems like a well built product.

My center bearing rubber boot was bad. Usually the bearing is fine and the rubber goes bad, however, you must replace the whole support to fix it properly. This was a tricky part to find. I have a 2005 2500HD and there are several different ones that say they will work with my truck but this was the correct part for my truck. I do not have a bearing press so I very carefully cut the old bearing off. I scored the bearing race and hit it with a cold chisel and it came off. It took longer to get the cut done then it did to get it off. I heated the new bearing up with my heat gun while the "better half" rubbed and ice cube on the drive shaft. I just slid the new bearing on. I did not have to beat on it at all. I then put the retaining ring on with a piece of pipe and tapped it on. Perfect fit. No issues so far.

SUPER QUALITY PART. WOULD BUY AGAIN, HOWEVER THE STUDS ARE OVER HARDENED. BOTH STUDS BROKE OFF AT THE HEAD BEFORE THE LOCKNUT WAS CLOSE TO BEING TIGHT.COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF I WAS DRIVING!THANKFULL IT HAPPENED WHEN IT DID. EASY FIX ,KNOCKED OUT REST OF STUD AND USED BOLTS AND LOCK NUTS! MANUFACTURER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, BIG LAWSUIT POSSIBILITY IF THEY BREAK AND SOMEONE LOOSES A DRIVE SHAFT GOING DOWN THE ROAD.! MAYBE AMAZON SHOULD PULL ONES IN STOCK?

The only thing is the mounting studs came loose and I had a time tighten it to the frame.. since I've put a couple thousand miles and so far so good.. seemed good quality other then that one thing there

First off, I'd like to know if this is really a Moog part. The first sentence of the description is "Moog hub assemblies are performance proven...". I actually purchased this more expensive part just for the fact that I thought I was purchasing a Moog part. No where on the box or part are there any markings that would indicate it's manufactured by Moog. If I were selling a Honda, I wouldn't start the add with "Mercedes make the best cars...".Second, the bolts are over hardened, they both snapped before they were fully tightened. I'm actually glad they did on install, it could have been catastrophic if they broke on the highway.Third, the nuts should be a swivel flange nut, just like the stock nuts. This carrier mounts on an adjustable slotted mount. When you tighten the nuts that the "Moog" part comes with, it wants to "walk", which makes it very difficult to tighten and keep in place at the same time. Maybe Moog no longer makes Quality parts like they did 20 years ago, or this isn't really made by Moog. Very disappointed with the quality, I would have returned the part, but it's pressed on and the old part is destroyed when removed. I needed the truck back on the road the next day, so I went and bought some metric 10.9 bolts and reused the factory nuts. IF YOU PURCHASE AND INSTALL THIS PRODUCT DO NOT USE THE STUDS IT COMES WITH!!

It works well and is cheap too hell.

As stated before the studs are not tac welded. The self locking nut should be thrown away. Use a flat washer & lock washer and you will not strip the stud in the housing. Also the rear dust shield is cheesy, had to try and set it in place myself. Next time l will buy the more expensive item.

Fit 2001 Silverado just like oem.Didn’t use spacer race on mine but was included.
