Rite-Align® Self Aligning Center Bearing

Neapco’s Rite-Align® center bearing is designed, engineered, tested, and proven to provide premium performance. Rite-Align is easy to install and maintains the appropriate angle on the driveshaft to ensure optimal life of the shaft and components, respectively.

Neapco’s Rite-Align center bearing has been tested and proven to outperform the leading competitor’s product, based on samples tested. The results showed the Neapco Rite-Align center bearing performance is not only better, but consistently better. Meaning every Rite-Align sample tested, outperformed the competitive product tested.

Test market customers told us the installation was easy and the product looked, felt, and performed better than their previous supplier’s product. When coupled with Neapco’s, market leading, pre-straightened tubing, things become easier and more efficient.

Part#: N10094142

Features, Advantages, and Benefits

• Allows for +/-10 degrees of angularity, to provide optimal alignment to the driveshaft. (See illustrations below)
• Patent-pending design ensures cushion position stability at angles.
• Durometer and design of the cushion provide the durability needed to maintain the alignment, thus extending the life of the bearing and the driveshaft, respectively.
• Enhanced, newly formulated elastomers reduce NVH to provide smoother, quieter operation and owner satisfaction.
• Double sealed bearing means double protection from environmental contaminants and helps to provide optimal performance and extended life of the bearing.
• Thicker steel bracket for better strength and durability.

Key Installation Tips (not inclusive of all instructions)

Please read and follow instructions included in every box. Initial installation position and process is vital to ensure product longevity and customer satisfaction.

• Position center bearing assembly and install (loosely) the bolts to the cross member.
• Let the driveshaft then move to its natural neutral position, then secure that natural neutral position of the shaft by tightening the bolts to the frame.
• In the shaft’s natural neutral position, the bearing should be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the tube of the shaft.
