Parts for your 2001 Nissan Bluebird-Centre bearing

2001 Nissan Bluebird centre-bearing — is it actually there?

Short answer: on a typical 2001 Nissan Bluebird (U14 or Bluebird Sylphy G10) with front‑wheel drive, a centre-bearing isn’t used. These models run a transverse engine with a front transaxle and two front driveshafts, so there’s no long propeller shaft under the car to support — and no need for a centre (centre support) bearing. A centre-bearing only comes into play on vehicles with a multi‑piece rear or all‑wheel drive prop shaft.
