Detailed Description

The FAG CH0138 is a hanger-style drive shaft center support bearing engineered for driveline and axle service where center support is critical. Its 30 mm inside diameter and 49 mm length provide the dimensional fit needed for supported shaft applications, while the 122 mm height reflects the bearing assembly profile. In Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Pickup, and D21 driveline setups, this bearing helps keep the driveshaft centered and running with less vibration transfer through the chassis. The CH0138 is also referenced against Timken HB13 for the same application.

Compatible With 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier, 1995-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 1995-1997 Nissan Pickup, and 1986-1994 Nissan D21 applications listed in the fitment data. The FAG CH0138 is a direct-fit driveline support component for Nissan trucks and SUVs that require a center support bearing with the specified dimensions.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Driveline vibration at speed
• Excessive shaft movement or misalignment
• Noise from a worn center support bearing
• Premature wear at the driveshaft support point
• Harshness transmitted through the driveline

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the bearing dimensions and vehicle application before installation. Inspect the driveshaft, support bracket, and surrounding driveline components for wear or damage before replacing the center support bearing. Proper alignment during installation is important for reducing vibration and extending service life. Confirm the correct Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Pickup, or D21 fitment by model year and driveline configuration before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

FAG hanger bearings are built for precise driveshaft support with low-friction operation and vibration isolation in demanding driveline environments. The CH0138 follows the brand’s focus on alignment, wear control, and driveline stability for Nissan applications.
