Center support bearing. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The bracket that holds the bearing in place broke at the spot welds. Is this a common problem with these trucks or did the guy that owned this truck before me put on some made in Tiwan part.
I,m a mecanic and have seen alot of bad support berings in vehicles but have never seen one break like this.
I never even had a hint that there might be a problem coming on until right before it broke. It started shuttering slightly on take offs. I did'nt even make it a mile like that beforeit gave way.
Oh Well, gives me something to do when I get off tomarrow.one
