Restores and maintains driveshaft alignment
Installs without having to remove or disassemble the driveshaft
Unique damper bushings design isolates unwanted drivetrain vibrations from cabin
Fits all 2004+ F150 with 2-pc driveshafts except some 2021+ models
Most Ford F150 2004-present with 2-pc driveshaft and center support bearing
Generally shorter to mid length wheelbase trucks may have come with a 1-pc driveshaft from the factory
4x4 trucks are more likely to have a 1-pc driveshaft from the factory
Does not fit 2021+ Hybrid models or 3.5T 4x4 with 157/164” wheelbase
If you’re unsure if your truck has a center support bearing, please look under your truck and confirm before ordering. The center support bearing is easy to see.
Trucks with rear lift kits require the center support bearing spacer kit to correct pinion angles.
Center support bearing spacer kit recommended for install on trucks with rear lift kit.
The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with layers of thin rubber connected by small ribs that sag over time. While that’s great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, it allows the bearing to sag and ruin driveshaft alignment over time.
Over time the OEM bushing becomes brittle, eventually dry rotting and cracking. On many F150 models the carrier is unserviceable, leading to complete driveshaft replacement as the only option.
Our upgraded driveshaft carriers allow you to service the center support by clamping around the original bearing. The more solid bushings ensure the bearing cannot move from center, maintaining torque delivery and driveshaft alignment at all times.
Our unique shoulder bolt and damper bushing method for securing the carrier to the frame reduces vibration transfer to the cabin and allows the carrier frame to move forward and backward with the bearing, preventing the type of failure shown in the last photo.
The videos below were recorded on a 2020 Explorer ST with just a tune. The driveshaft is not well-supported by the soft OEM carrier, so it’s allowed to travel off-center under load. The video shows a comparison of how much an OEM carrier gives under load and the improvement with the JXB carrier.
