UMI Performance Carrier Bearing Relocation Kit (6573) - 2015-2027 Ford F-150 2WD/4WD
Correct driveline geometry and help eliminate unwanted vibration after lowering your 2015-2027 Ford F-150 with the UMI Performance Carrier Bearing Relocation Kit. Designed specifically for trucks equipped with a two-piece driveshaft, the 6573 kit repositions the carrier bearing to help establish the proper driveline angle required for smooth operation on a lowered truck.
Lowering an F-150 can alter driveshaft operating angles enough to introduce vibration into the driveline. UMI's carrier bearing relocation system addresses this geometry change with a 1/4-inch-thick shim, reinforcement plate, clamp block, and the necessary installation hardware. The result is a purpose-built solution designed to reduce or eliminate lowering-related driveline vibration.
Corrects Driveline Angle After Lowering
Changing the rear ride height of an F-150 can also change the operating angle of its driveshaft. On trucks equipped with a two-piece driveshaft, correcting the position of the carrier bearing can be an important part of establishing proper driveline geometry after lowering.
The UMI 6573 kit relocates the factory carrier bearing position to adjust the driveline angle. UMI designed this correction to reduce or eliminate vibration caused by lowering and provide smoother driveline operation.
Complete Shim and Clamp Kit
The UMI Carrier Bearing Relocation Kit includes the components needed to reposition the carrier bearing mount. The package includes a 1/4-inch-thick shim, reinforcement plate, clamp block, and the proper installation hardware.
These components work together to provide a secure mounting arrangement while establishing the revised carrier bearing position needed for the lowered suspension configuration.
Designed for Two-Piece Driveshafts
The 6573 relocation kit is specifically designed for Ford F-150 models equipped with a two-piece driveshaft and factory carrier bearing. It is not intended for trucks using a one-piece driveshaft.
Installation Requires Cutting
Installation is performed by removing the factory carrier bearing mount and substituting the UMI 6573 shim and relocation components. Cutting of the factory carrier bearing mount is required as part of the installation process.
Because the installation modifies the factory mount, proper positioning and installation of the relocation components are important for achieving the intended driveline angle correction.
Black Powder Coat Finish
UMI finishes the relocation components with a tough black powder coat to provide a durable protective finish suitable for the underbody environment.
