Which component supports the junction between two shaft sections?

  • A.A thrust bearing within the gearbox extension housing, which locates the forward end of the rear shaft section
  • B.A rubber mounted centre bearing
  • C.A universal joint alone, which is able to carry the weight of both sections without any additional support fitted
  • D.A flexible coupling

Answer: B

A sealed ball bearing in a rubber carrier bolted to the underbody supports the shaft while isolating vibration and permitting small movements. Perished rubber is a common source of vibration and noise. The bearing itself is sealed for life. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
