VW Tiguan Mk1 (5N) Propeller Shaft Center Support Bearing & Carrier | 2010–2016

Description

Restore smooth power delivery and eliminate cabin vibrations with this premium VW Tiguan Center Support Bearing and Carrier. Specifically designed for the first-generation Tiguan (5N) 4Motion models (typically 2010–2016), this component is the definitive solution for the common “thumping” sounds or high-speed shudders caused by a perished rubber carrier or worn internal bearing.

The Center Support Bearing is a critical part of the multi-piece propeller shaft (drive shaft) system. Its primary role is to hold the shaft securely in place while allowing it to rotate freely, absorbing drivetrain torque and road vibrations. Over time, the rubber surround in the carrier can crack or sag due to heat and mileage, leading to misalignment of the drive shaft. This can cause premature wear on the gearbox output seals and rear differential.

Manufactured with high-grade synthetic rubber for superior damping and a precision-ground internal ball bearing, this unit is built to withstand the rigorous demands of an all-wheel-drive system. It is designed to match factory specifications for a perfect fit and long-term durability in South African driving conditions. Trust TP German Auto Spares for high-quality drivetrain components that maintain the refined driving experience of your VW Tiguan.
