Effortless Protection for Your Bearings

When a driveshaft is removed, one loose bearing cap can ruin a perfectly good U-joint. The Advantage Tools U-Joint Bearing Cap Retainers lock your bearing caps securely in place, protecting and retaining the caps while keeping bearings and lube in place. Lightweight, reusable, and built for real-world use, they’re ideal for the workshop, race trailer, or spare driveshafts carried on race and chase trucks. Designed for durability and convenience, they keep your driveline ready for action—no matter where it’s stored.

Perfect Fit for 1350 and 1480 Series U-Joints

Each retainer is precision-engineered for a perfect fit on 1350 and 1480 series U-joints, maintaining consistent pressure across all four caps to keep them seated and aligned. Sold in sets of two—one for each end of a driveshaft—these retainers ensure both ends are fully protected during storage or t ransport. From race prep to long-distance hauling, you can trust your U-joints to stay clean, tight, and ready to install.

Innovative and Protective Design Highlights

• Integrated Zip-Tie Tunnels: Molded channels guide two zip ties around the bearing caps, locking the retainers firmly in place for a secure hold that won’t slip off. This Advantage Tools–exclusive design adds a level of retention and simplicity not found in other cap retainers.

• Optional Protective Covers: Add-on back-side cap shields protect the exposed ends of the bearing caps from dirt, debris, and impact—providing complete all-around protection.

• Precision Geometry: Engineered for consistent fit and clamping force, maintaining secure retention even during long storage or high-vibration transport.

Compact, lightweight, and reusable, these retainers are designed to make life easier for anyone who works with driveline components. Whether it’s a spare driveshaft on the race truck, a backup in the chase rig, or one waiting on the shop shelf, your U-joints stay protected, clean, and ready for the next run.
