Detailed Description

Anchor 8473 is a center support bearing designed for the driveshaft section between the transmission and differential. In Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Pickup, and D21 driveline setups, the center support bearing helps maintain shaft alignment and reduces stress on connected driveline components. The bearing uses a 30 mm bore and is supplied as a cushion insert only, without frame, for applications that match this configuration. This part cross-references Timken HB13 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Driveshaft vibration from a worn center support bearing
• Excess driveline movement under load
• Noisy operation from deteriorated rubber support material
• Stress on transmission and differential driveline components
• Alignment issues at the center of the driveshaft assembly
