Drive shaft center support bearing brands

[Shawn Piper]

I’m looking to replace mine and I noticed there are massive price differences between the different brands. 
 

Febi/Bilstein/Rein are all about $20. BMW brand is $200-300. 
 

Is there really that much quality difference to warrant the price increase?

This was a pretty good discussion

Lemforder would be one of the few brands I would trust at this point.

 

$60 is about the right price point for this part, roughly.

 

Everything Fabrique au Chine has proven to be low quality, so far.

 

Brutally, the BMW- bagged support is no longer 100% trusted for 'Archive' models like the 2002.
