I bought this for my 02 IS300 Sportcross about 18 months ago. I had been chasing a driveline vibration and figured it couldn't hurt to replace the center support bearing. I noticed this one wasn't as smooth as the one I removed, which was likely the original. But I don't really expect OEM quality. The part fit fine and I moved on to other areas to solve my problem (which ended up being the tires).Fast forward 18 months, and my car had developed a moderate noise/vibration at higher speeds. After spending many hours chasing the sound I decided to check this part. (I had assumed it was fine since it was recently replaced). While the bearing was still intact, the rubber had shifted in such a way that the bearing was no longer centered. This basically caused the driveshaft to spin on a slight eccentric, about a 1/4 inch off center.I actually have put the original back on (I still had it) and it mostly reduced the problem. I will be buying an OEM part to replace it. It is significantly more expensive, but it simply isn't worth the headache to deal with this after only 18 months, not to mention the headache of trying to diagnose it.In fairness, the driveshaft has 200K on it. There could be some issues that cause more stress on the part (worn U-joints), but the original clearly stood up better.

I ordered this bearing but it was defective so I decided to buy another one which worked fine. I wanted to return the first one but could not understand the return policy, which specified a return date of june 15th.
