Driveshaft Center Support Carrier Bearing for Dodge Charger 2015-2020

Driveshaft Center Support Carrier Bearing for Dodge Charger 2015-2020

2015-2020 Dodge Charger Carrier Bearing Replacement

Engine 3.6L / V6, 5.7L / V8

Center of mounting hole to center of mounting hole: 7.372"

Bracket width: 1.623"

Internal diameter: 1.181"

Please note that this carrier bearing will require a drive-line shop or someone with prior knowledge working on driveshafts

The process requires tapping off the dust cap attached to the center shaft CV Joint, in order to access the spline. 

The spline will have a hidden snap ring that needs to be removed in order to release the two halves of the driveshaft.

If you cannot see the snap ring, you could remove a few ball bearings which would expose the snap ring position.

Thereafter the shaft will separate and you can gain access to remove the old carrier bearing.

If you have a machine press in the workshop, the shaft can also be separated by destroying the old snap ring through forced separation.

Step 1

Establish what style of Universal Joint you are working with. This is important, since u-joints have a different way of measuring depending on the style of u-joint that you have. The way that you measure the u-joint will translate into how you measure the other components you may need. ALWAYS use a set of Vernier Calipers or Micrometers, tape measures will never produce accurate results! These are mechanical parts and require precision


























After comparing the Type of U-Joint in Step 1) 

Measure your u-joint in the correct manner and identify what series you have

There are two applications for slip yokes that determines what type of slip yoke you need

  • Transmission slip yokes that slide onto the output shaft of your transmission
  • Driveshaft slip yokes that allow for the shaft to move in and out during operation

Please follow the steps

  • Establish the type of universal joint
  • Measure and determine the series of your universal joint
  • Determine if you need a transmission or driveshaft slip yoke type
  • Count the splines and take note for missing splines. If you count 15 with a gap = 15/16
  • OD, the outside diameter of the splined tube
  • Major diameter which is used to ensure that the slip yoke and spline fit correctly


There are two types of splines

  • Determine if you need a regular stub shaft or a spline to be used with a center or carrier bearing
  • Determine the tube you are going to weld the butt end of the spline into (Outside diameter & Wall thickness)
  • As a general rule, the (K) measurement of the spline should be about the length (CL) of the slip yoke
  • Make sure that the spline major diameter & number of splined teeth matches that of your slip yoke

Center Bearing's are easy!

They are used to support two piece driveshafts & are identified as follows:

  • Compare the shape of the center bearing, do the brackets and general look of the bearing match?
  • Take a measurement from the centerline of one mounting hole to the other to establish the length
  • Ensure the inner diameter of our bearing matches the diameter of the spline its going onto



Identify your Flange

  • First determine the type and series of the universal joint
  • Take the measurement from the centerline of one bolt hole to the other on both sides of the flange
  • Confirm the flange pilot diameter
  • Are the bolt holes drilled or threaded?




Weld in Tube Yokes

  • First determine the type and series of your universal joint
  • Determine the outer diameter and wall thickness of your driveshaft tubing
  • Beware of what material you are working with, aluminum tubing uses aluminum tube yokes
