Guest wildcat65401 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hi everyone, My friend has a 61' Le Sabre , we believe that the mid shaft bearing or centre supprortbearing has failed . So its going to need to be replaced . Does anyone know where one might find one of these ? I would really appreciate any help in this matter . And of course thanks to eveyone here that always helps me in these kind of situations . Happy holidays everyone , Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Paul, you might try Rock Auto They have some stuff in their catalog, very reasonable, also. My brother did very well on brake parts for his '56 from them. Hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 It's possible that there might be what I'd call an "embedded" drive shaft shop in the metro area that might still have some in their new stock. It might be in the old part of town with "caked oil carpet" on the wood floor, but if you do some shopping in the local metro yellow pages, you might find just such a place. I found one in Dallas when I needed a center bearing for my '68 LeSabre, which they still had several of. The son of the original owner was running the business. This type of driveshaft shop would have been around during the time that GM used lots of 2-piece drive shafts and the double-jointed center joints in the 1960s and 1970s.Just some thoughts,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
