What size bearing do I need for my La-Z-Boy recliner drive rod?
We stock three sizes of black nylon bearings—small, medium, and large—all designed to suit 11mm drive rods. The size you need depends on the model of your La-Z-Boy recliner. If you're unsure, contact us with your chair’s model number and we’ll guide you to the right part.

This part will require moderate DIY skills. We have provided step by step installation instructions.
Does this fit all models of La Z boy's?
We are not aware of all models of La Z Boy's but if you send us pictures we can advise if this part is correct. Email info@sofarehab.com.au.
What’s the difference between small, medium, and large La-Z-Boy bearings?
The difference lies in the outer diameter and thickness of the bearing. While all fit the same 11mm drive rod, different recliner models require different sizes to maintain correct alignment. Contact us if you're unsure which size is suitable
How do I know if my recliner bearing needs replacing?
Common signs include creaking sounds, stiff movement, or the drive rod feeling loose or misaligned. Visible wear, cracking, or flattened nylon edges are also indicators that your bearing should be replaced.
