Chassis Parts with Fitting Position Rear Axle

Nolathane chassis parts restore the solid connections between a vehicle?s body, chassis and driveline. The range includes tough polyurethane body and cab mount bushes that cut noise and vibration, plus tailshaft spacers, centre bearing alignment kits and bracket extensions that keep lifted 4WDs and utes running smoothly.

Developed with more than 50 years of suspension and chassis experience, Nolathane chassis parts are designed as practical repair and upgrade solutions for everyday vehicles, hard-working 4WDs, light commercials and classic restorations.

How Body and Cab Mounts Work

Many 4WDs, utes, light commercials and older vehicles use body-on-frame construction, where the body or cab sits on a separate chassis. The two are joined by a series of body mounts, also called cab mounts.

Each mount uses bushes to cushion the connection, isolating the cabin from road shock, chassis flex and driveline vibration while holding the body firmly in place. Similar mounts are used to support radiator panels, bumpers and other body components. When these bushes are in good condition, the cabin stays quiet and stable, and the body stays correctly aligned on the chassis.

Signs of Worn Chassis Mounts

• Clunking or knocking from under the cabin over bumps and rough roads
• Increased cabin noise, drumming or vibration
• A body or cab that visibly moves on the chassis when rocked
• Uneven gaps between the body and chassis, or between panels
• Doors, bonnet or tailgate that no longer line up or latch cleanly
• Cracked, flattened, oil-soaked or missing rubber at the mounts

Polyurethane vs Rubber Body Mounts

Factory rubber mounts gradually compress, crack and break down under constant load, heat, oil and weather. Once they lose height and shape, the body moves more on the chassis, and more noise and vibration reach the cabin.

Nolathane polyurethane mount bushes are built to outlast rubber. Our signature red bushings deliver outstanding abrasion resistance, high load-bearing capability for 4WDs, utes and towing, flexibility and increased tensile strength. They also resist oil, grease, ozone and weathering. They hold their shape and height far longer, so the body stays correctly supported, the cabin stays quieter, and panel alignment is protected.

Types of Chassis Parts

Body and Cab Mount Bushes

Replacement body and cab mount bush kits restore correct body-to-chassis fitment. Vehicle-specific kits suit particular mounting positions, while universal kits are selected by size. They?re ideal for restorations and harder-to-find applications.

Radiator Support and Bumper Mounts

Radiator support and bumper mount bushes hold front-end panels and components firmly while isolating vibration. That protects the radiator and helps keep the front end correctly aligned.

Tailshaft Spacers and Centre Bearing Alignment Kits

Lifting a 4x4 changes the angle of the tailshaft (driveshaft or propshaft), and a common result is driveline vibration. Tailshaft spacers and centre bearing alignment kits correct that geometry, reducing vibration, protecting the centre bearing and keeping the driveline running smoothly.

Headlight Sensor and Bracket Extension Kits

Many modern vehicles use automatic headlight levelling, controlled by a ride height sensor. After a lift, the sensor reads the new height incorrectly. Headlight sensor adjuster brackets let lifted vehicles keep their factory self-levelling headlights within specification. Bracket extension kits also reposition other components affected by a lift, such as sensor and sway bar link mounts.

Chassis Parts for Lifted 4WDs

A suspension lift affects more than ride height. Driveline angles, centre bearing alignment, headlight levelling and component brackets can all be pushed outside their design range.

Fitting the right chassis parts alongside a lift helps the vehicle drive as smoothly, quietly and safely as it did at standard height. Each listing shows which vehicles and lift applications a kit suits.

Installation and Support

Nolathane chassis parts are designed for accurate, straightforward fitment by professional workshops and experienced home mechanics. Body mount replacement requires the body to be supported and raised safely, one section at a time. Driveline and bracket kits should be fitted with the vehicle at its new ride height.

Our local support team can help you choose the right parts, whether you?re repairing worn mounts, replacing components or upgrading a lifted vehicle.

Built to Last, Backed for Life

Nolathane chassis parts are engineered to outlast the factory components they replace. They?re backed by Nolathane?s lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship, for the original vehicle they?re fitted to. It reflects the confidence we have in our materials, design and manufacturing standards.

Who Nolathane Chassis Parts Suit

Nolathane chassis parts suit 4WD and ute owners dealing with cabin noise or body movement from worn mounts, and drivers of lifted 4x4s experiencing driveline vibration or headlight levelling issues. They?re also used by light commercial and fleet operators keeping hard-working vehicles quiet and reliable, by classic car restorers replacing perished rubber mounts, and by workshops carrying out chassis repairs and lift installations.
