After 27 years the rubber in mine is pretty mushy . I see Rock Auto sells just the rubber insert . I plan to replace the whole thing , just curious if anyone has replaced just the rubber insert ? THANKS !

I used to replace the rubber only years a go when I had a shop. Its better to replace the whole assem. as they are not all that expensive. You can spin the brg & see if it is quite. If so you can just replace the rubber.

THANKS Wrenchbender ! The whole thing is like $30 , I was just wondering .

I just bought one for my C20 from NAPA. It was $43.00. They had a $17.00 one but it looked pretty crappy.

I didn't write the numbers down but he had 3 different ones shipped in and let me choose the one I wanted. One was $17, one was $43, and one was $45. I didn't see any difference between the $43 one and the $45 one. He had to look them up in the catalog instead of on the computer.

Thanks again , Lockdoc . I just pulled the driveshaft bearing with my puller . Plan to take it to NAPA in the morn and see what they have . So far , so good .

The $60 bearing looked better , so I got it . NAPA HB206FF . Came with 17 mm bolts . Probably the only thing metric on my truck . Haven't fully tightened them as the rear tires are off the ground . Anyone know if it really matters ?? THANKS !

Shouldn't matter. The slip joint will take up any slack.

Thanks Lockdoc ! I did manage to squeeze under when I took it off the stands and tighten the 17 mm bolts . Been out for a test drive and everything seems good !
