JBX Performance (11th/12th/13th/14th gen) Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade (Ford F150 204-2024)

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.
