class=\"esp-lead\"\u003eThe factory center support carrier features an internal bushing constructed from soft, pliable rubber. While this provides a smooth and quiet ride for standard driving, it falls short in performance-oriented applications where durability and precision are critical. During acceleration, shifting, and under load, the rubber bushing's inherent flexibility allows for excessive driveshaft movement. Over time, repeated stress and wear on the rubber will cause bushing failure, risking poor driveshaft alignment and efficiency. In extreme cases, this failure will cause a constant rotational \"clunking\" noise, a clear indicator of impending failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ECS Tuning Center Support Bearing Brace is designed to enhance the performance and longevity of your drivetrain. To improve upon the factory design, and to create a performance alternative, our engineers started by designing a set of exact-fit, split low durometer rubber bushings that clamp around your existing driveshaft bearing. Crafted from 30A durometer rubber, our material choice effectively eliminates bushing deflection without causing an increase in noise, vibration, and harshness. By eliminating deflection, this design ensures a longer lifespan than the stock center support bearing, making it a great investment for enthusiasts looking to maintain their aging BMW chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rubber bushings are encased in a high-strength 6061-T6 billet aluminum bracket, engineered for both durability and performance. Like the bushings, the bracket features a split design, allowing for seamless installation without the need to remove the entire driveshaft assembly, saving time and effort during maintenance or upgrades. To ensure reliable clamping and secure fastening, the bracket is equipped with two corrosion-resistant stainless steel socket head screws. This design simplifies bushing replacement and provides a dependable and sturdy hold, even under high torque and stress conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.ecstuning.com\/product_library\/1962894_x800.jpg\" alt=\"Late E30 \/ E34 Driveshaft Center Support Carrier\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact-fit bushings are made from 30A durometer rubber to eliminate bushing deflection while maintaining a smooth, quiet ride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with the factory CSB mount hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid rubber construction offers a longer lifespan than the flimsy factory rubber, ideal for enthusiasts looking to eliminate future CSB-related problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBushings are encased in a 6061-T6 billet aluminum bracket for enhanced durability and improved performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth the bushings and the bracket feature a two-piece split design, allowing for seamless installation without driveshaft removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned with performance in mind, this upgrade eliminates excessive driveshaft movement for improved alignment and efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"esp-feat\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECS Driveshaft Center Support Bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eECS Driveshaft Center Support Carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Stainless Steel Hex Head Screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium Strength Threadlocker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"esp-sec\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Development\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur ECS Driveshaft Center Support Carrier was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility.
