Parts for your 1997 Nissan Navara-Centre bearing

1997 Nissan Navara Centre-Bearing — Fitment, Purpose, and Service Tips

For the 1997 Nissan Navara sold in Australia and New Zealand, a centre-bearing (also called a centre support or carrier bearing) is used on models with a two-piece tailshaft — typically dual-cab and long wheelbase utes in both 2WD and 4WD. Short wheelbase single-cab variants often run a one-piece tailshaft and therefore do not have, or need, a centre-bearing. This means the part is relevant to most 1997 Navaras with a two-piece shaft, but not to one-piece shaft vehicles.
