Driveshaft rubber coupling? replaceable? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Anyone know if the rubber coupling inbetween the driveshaft and tranny is replaceable? Mine is totally shot and making the car drive bad. Its the one at the very front of the driveshaft...

thats interesting. never heard of one of those going bad. even if it is avaliable, for the price it may just be easier to get a entire used front half from the junkyard thats in better condition. s13's are always at junkyards, at least here in socal.

Are you talking about the carrier bearing(listed as Center Bearing on the parts chart)? If so, I believe they go for about $50 - $80 at parts houses. Or OEM from Courtesy Nissan Online Parts is Courtesy Nissan Parts Link

i dont think so, hes talking abou the 'rubber coupling, do not disassemble' as labled in the lower pic on the left.

I checked courtesyparts and looks like just that piece isn't avaliable, so I'd check the junkyards.

yes, that middle bearing is replaceable.

EDIT: i thought you meant the middle bearing. your best bet is to get a 'better' condition front half of the driveshaft.

Time for a Drive Shaft Shop 1-piece drive shaft.

I would replace the shaft. When mine went bad on my BMW it was due to bad u-joints.

I have one of the couplings if its the one labeled "rubber coupling" or flex disk. if you want to buy it I guess $10 plus shipping? Pm me.
