THE PROBLEM

The stock center support bearing carrier is permanently molded to the center bearing with thin rubber that sags and cracks over time and does not adequately support the driveshaft under load. This rubber generally fails long before the bearing itself has reached the end of its life. Since the center bearing is molded to the OEM carrier and difficult to service, it’s often easier to get a new driveshaft than replace the center support bearing.

THE SOLUTION 

This upgraded unit keeps the driveshaft firmly in place at all times, and its robust construction ensures it will never wear out. The thick bushings ensure the driveshaft cannot move from center, maintaining driveshaft alignment at all times. The 2-piece design clamps around the bearing, making installation and servicing a breeze.

THE BUSHINGS

Two options are available for the bushings, both of which are many times over better than the stock bushing. We’ve paid close attention to the NVH levels associated with this upgrade. After extensive design iterations, we’ve come up with custom isolator bushings that separate the carrier from the body of the vehicle and mounting hardware. These carriers substantially reduce NVH levels.

The street bushings absorb most of the NVH from the drivetrain. Some light NVH is possible at some speeds in the form of a soft hum. With a modified exhaust or windows down you’ll probably never hear it.

The track bushings are for those who want no-compromise drivetrain performance. These may create a substantial amount of cabin noise. Not sure which is for you? They’re interchangeable so you can try them both.

INSTALLATION

Installation doesn’t require removal of the driveshaft. The 2-part design clamps around the OEM bearing. The old carrier must be removed, so a cutting tool is required. Below is the installation of this part on an 2014 Durango. The exact steps to access the carrier will vary slightly by model, but the removal and installation of the new carrier are the same. The basic steps are:

  • Remove any braces or splash shields preventing exhaust and heat shield removal

  • Remove or lower exhaust in area of center support bearing

  • Remove heat shielding covering center support bearing

  • Cut off OEM carrier and remove rubber support material with razorblade, leaving base layer of rubber intact on the bearing

  • Clamp new carrier around OEM bearing

FITMENT
