A centre tailshaft mount, also known as a center support bearing or carrier bearing, is a crucial component in a car's drivetrain system. It is located on the driveshaft, which is the cylindrical shaft that transfers power from the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. The main function of the centre tailshaft mount is to support and stabilize the driveshaft, reducing vibrations and ensuring smooth power transfer.

This mount consists of a bearing housed in a bracket or carrier, which is usually made of rubber or a combination of rubber and metal. The rubber component helps to absorb and dampen vibrations, while the metal provides structural strength. The centre tailshaft mount is strategically positioned along the driveshaft to prevent excessive flexing or bending, especially in longer driveshafts or where the shaft passes through various angles.
