The First Line Group has introduced Propshaft Drive Couplings and Centre Support Bearings into a new Driveline product category. The comprehensive range provides technicians with a cost effective repair solution for both rear and four-wheel drive and includes references for light commercial vehicles.

Vibration absorption through the propshaft is the prime function of a drive coupling, although in addition to reducing noise and vehicle harshness, they also protect other components in the vehicle’s driveline. Propshaft centre bearings support the propshaft along its length and ensures that it is correctly aligned and running ’true’. A worn bearing will allow the propshaft to vibrate, which as well as being uncomfortable for the occupants, can cause damage to other drive related components and potentially bring about the premature failure of the Propshaft.

First Line says its Driveline components are manufactured to the highest standards using OE bearings and only premium quality rubber, which has been carefully sourced from the group’s ISO accredited manufacturing partners.

The initial range includes 29 Drive Couplings and 20 Centre Bearings, which cater for all popular car and LCV applications and carry a comprehensive 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty for total peace of mind.
