my center driveshaft support bearing recently wore out stopped spinning and just shredded the rubber...
so i purchased a new support bearing from autozone...
it seems the diametere of the whole piece (not the bearing but the rubber and metal outter ring) is larger than the previous one..

i already have it installed and dont want to have to press it out again and put a new one on....
is there anything i can do the part number is A6000 (AutoZone.com | Shopping | Parts | Product Detail - Driveshaft Center Support (http://www.autozone.com/R,484616/vehicleId,1035401/initialAction,partProductDetail/store,2872/partType,00063/shopping/partProductDetail.htm))
is there a way i can get larger diametered brackets to hold it in place?

because the old brackets i have are too small and only allow for one bolt, that holds the center supprot bearing to the underside, to thread in

and the driveshaft itself doesnt have an angle anymore and from what i understand if the whole driveshaft itself isnt angled it will go through bearings quick

any help and input is welcome and appreciated

thanks, Brett

Get a One piece DS from drive shaft shop or 240sxmotoring i think. Saves rotational weight on the drivetrain and eliminates the gay carrier bearing.

sorry i forgot to include i dont want to spend to much money because im going to sell this car... the original setup lasted a good 19 years and just replacing it is good enough for me =)
