Detailed Description

Timken 109FF is a driveline bearing used in Volvo 240, 740, 760, 780, 940, and 960 applications with the listed driveshaft configurations. As a drive shaft center support bearing, it helps maintain shaft alignment and smooth driveline rotation, which is important when addressing vibration, rumble, or bearing wear in the center support area. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

Timken deep groove bearing construction is engineered for low noise and stable performance, with tight dimensional control that supports proper fit and operation. The 109FF follows ISO dimensions and is interchangeable with competitor parts that match the same specification.

Common Repair Uses

• Driveline vibration from a worn center support bearing
• Noise from the driveshaft support area
• Excess play or roughness in the center bearing
• Restoring smooth driveshaft rotation on Volvo rear-wheel-drive models
• Replacing a bearing that no longer maintains proper shaft support

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the driveshaft configuration before ordering, especially Type 03 Drive Shaft and 45mm Driveshaft applications. Inspect the driveshaft, support bracket, and surrounding driveline components for wear before installation. Confirm the bearing dimensions and alignment against the removed part to ensure correct fitment on the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Timken manufactures this bearing to worldwide quality standards and to ISO-based dimensional requirements for interchangeability. The bearing design is intended to deliver consistent noise and vibration performance in driveline service.
