Where can I get a carrier for the drive shaft...Just noticed mine looks like the weld broke.

Good thing I wasnt driving when it happened.

I have a brand new one in mine right now.
Don´t know where they got it over here but on the box it sais it comes from Federal Mogul. If I remember I will post the part# thats on the box later.
I checked out thier site but only found Differential bearings and seals.
Damn thing cost me 70 Euros (around 90 Dollars).

Hey Truckdude, what do they cost over there?

Going today to get a another one put on. Bought mine at Schucks auto for $30., but if the drive line shop may have a better one. Remove my drive line last night and just taking the whole thing in for them to do the work, ( I hate to mess with u-joints!) May even consider a 1 piece, depends on cost.

Checker Auto Parts, around $30.00 bucks. I just replaced mine last week. Be sure to use the spacer ring if the kit comes with one though, or your driveshaft deflection shield will rub on the bearing housing.

mine didn't come witha spacer ring and my shields rubed u ended up taking th shields off all together

Jcentsr6 · 08-21-2007, 11:14 AM

One of my techs are going to weld it.

aventur1 · 08-21-2007, 09:25 PM

Got my drive line back today and installed it. They said it may have been the original u-joints in the center! Of course no grease zerks and super worn out! They replaced all u-joints, new carrier bearing, balanced, cleaned up and painted for $84 bucks! I removed it and took it in, put it back on tonight an seems to be just fine, no shields though, oh well.
