Ford Ranger 4th/5th gen T6 (2019+) Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Upgrade (FRD06A0/FRD12A0)

• Reduces driveshaft slop and movement under load for more direct response

• Clamps around the bearing

• Does not require removal or disassembly of the driveshaft

• Optional bearing available

The Split Housing Driveshaft Carrier

The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with a layer of thin rubber. While that’s great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, it doesn’t keep the bearing centered well under load, allows the bearing to sag and ruin driveshaft alignment over time, and creates slop in the driveline during shifts and throttle application.

As it ages the OEM bushing becomes brittle, eventually dry rotting and cracking.

Our upgraded driveshaft carriers keep the driveshaft firmly in place at all times. The more solid bushings ensure the bearing cannot move from center, maintaining torque delivery and driveshaft alignment at all times, resulting in more direct driveline response under all conditions.

Benefits as described by our customers include:

• Smoother low-speed on/off throttle behavior off-road

• More direct throttle response

• Firmer, more direct shifts

• More instantaneous launches

• Reduction in vibration due to driveshaft misalignment and/or rubber deterioration

The Optional Bearing

We are the first to offer a standalone bearing. Combined with our split housing carrier, you can replace just the rubber and outer frame (the carrier), or replace the entire assembly including the bearing:

• Replace just the housing, leaving the good original bearing intact

• Replace the bearing and the housing together

• If you have our carrier installed, you can also replace just the bearing at any time, since our carrier is not molded to the bearing
