Centre Bearing Alignment with Fitting Position Front and Rear, Rear Axle

Centre bearing alignment kits are drivetrain components designed to correct the position of the rear tailshaft centre bearing following a suspension lift or ride height change on 4WD and dual cab ute applications. When a vehicle is lifted, the change in ride height alters the operating angle of the tailshaft assembly, shifting the centre bearing away from its correct alignment position. Left uncorrected, this causes increased vibration, noise and accelerated wear through the tailshaft and surrounding drivetrain components.

Centre bearing alignment kits reposition the centre bearing to restore correct tailshaft operating angles and reduce drivetrain vibration across a range of lift heights. Each kit includes all necessary spacers, brackets, washers and hardware for a complete, accurate installation. A practical and essential upgrade for workshops and experienced DIY users completing suspension lift installations on popular 4WD and dual cab ute platforms. Installation guides are available across all products.

Why Upgrade Suspension?

When a 4WD or dual cab ute is lifted, the tailshaft centre bearing mount remains at its original chassis height while the suspension sits higher, increasing the operating angles through the tailshaft assembly. This places excess stress on the centre bearing, universal joints and surrounding drivetrain components, and produces vibration and noise that worsens as operating angles increase and wear accumulates.

A centre bearing alignment kit addresses this directly by relocating the centre bearing mount to restore correct tailshaft geometry at the new ride height. This reduces vibration, protects the centre bearing and universal joints from accelerated wear, and ensures the tailshaft continues to operate reliably and quietly following the lift. For any vehicle fitted with a rear tailshaft centre bearing that has been lifted, a centre bearing alignment kit is an important and often overlooked component of a complete, correctly executed suspension upgrade.

Centre Bearing Alignment Range

The centre bearing alignment range includes:

• Rear Centre Bearing Alignment Kits, Spacer Style: Spacer, washer and tube nut assemblies that relocate the rear tailshaft centre bearing to restore correct operating angles following a suspension lift.
• Rear Centre Bearing Alignment Kits, Bracket Style: Bracket, washer and nut assemblies that relocate the rear tailshaft centre bearing to restore correct operating angles on applications requiring a bracket-based correction solution.

Why Purchase a Centre Bearing Alignment Kit?

Completing a suspension lift without correcting centre bearing position risks ongoing tailshaft vibration, increased noise and accelerated wear on the centre bearing, universal joints and surrounding drivetrain components. Using a quality centre bearing alignment kit restores correct tailshaft geometry, reduces vibration and protects the drivetrain from the effects of misaligned operating angles from the moment of installation.

For workshops carrying out suspension lift installations on 4WDs and dual cab utes with rear tailshaft centre bearings, a centre bearing alignment kit is a recommended component of any complete lift fitment, reducing the risk of vibration complaints and premature drivetrain wear. For vehicle owners and experienced DIY users, fitting a centre bearing alignment kit as part of a lift installation is a straightforward step that protects the tailshaft assembly and ensures smooth, reliable drivetrain performance at the new ride height.

Compatible Vehicles

Centre bearing alignment kits are compatible with a range of vehicles, including:

• 4WDs and dual cab utes with a rear tailshaft centre bearing that have been lifted or are being fitted with a lift kit requiring centre bearing position correction to restore correct tailshaft operating angles.
• Any vehicle where a suspension lift has altered rear tailshaft geometry, causing vibration, increased drivetrain noise or accelerated wear through the centre bearing and universal joints.

Installation and Support

Centre bearing alignment kits are designed for accurate installation at the rear tailshaft centre bearing mounting position. Installation time is approximately one hour, making this a practical repair for both professional workshops and experienced DIY users. Installation guides are available across all products to support the fitment process. For additional technical assistance, a dedicated support team is available to help ensure correct product selection and fitment for the specific lift height and application.

Repair and Upgrade

Centre bearing alignment kits are manufactured from high-strength materials engineered to withstand the load, vibration and environmental exposure that tailshaft mounting components are subject to in everyday and demanding use. Designed as direct upgrade solutions for lifted 4WD and dual cab ute applications, each kit restores correct centre bearing position and tailshaft operating angles, reducing vibration and protecting drivetrain components across a range of lift heights.

Who Centre Bearing Alignment Kits Are For

Centre bearing alignment kits are a practical solution for:

• Professional workshops carrying out suspension lift installations on 4WDs and dual cab utes with rear tailshaft centre bearings requiring position correction to protect the drivetrain and eliminate post-lift vibration.
• Experienced DIY users completing lift kit installations who need to restore correct tailshaft geometry and eliminate vibration caused by increased centre bearing operating angles.
• 4WD enthusiasts and vehicle owners who have fitted a lift kit and are experiencing tailshaft vibration, increased drivetrain noise or centre bearing wear as a result of incorrect tailshaft geometry.

The right centre bearing alignment kit restores correct tailshaft operating angles, eliminates vibration and protects the drivetrain every time a suspension lift is completed.
