After Market Carrier Bearing

Saw this over on TTORA. Wanted to get the thoughts from TW since it didn't get much response over there.

Anybody try a better strength carrier bearing like the one below?

Looks good to me. Might think about gettin one my self.

 

Hmm... I am having the u-joints and carrier bearing changed next week. Was thinking about this one Center Supports - Toyota Pickup 1993 - 2006 - Driveshaft Parts . I wonder what the long-term reliability would be. It looks beefy enough but is it made for a wet environment? Not trying to be a nay-sayer. Maybe someone with some more engineering background than I have can look at this and provide some input.

 

I looked into them but the max RPM on them is around 6k. I was wondering the RPM of my drive shaft spinning at 85 mph with 4:56 gears and stock size tires on a 07 TRD sport with automatic? Anybody know? Also has anyone tried this one from rock auto?

I don't think the drive shaft will spin more than 6k rpm, at 80mph, engine turns 3k rpm, and 5th gear is about a 1 to 1 ratio. The one at rock auto is the same as the one at advance auto and are the same, if not better than the OEM.

 

That bearing mod won't work as the shaft has to move fwd and backward and the bearing has to allow for this..hence the rubber around it.
