Strange sound from drive train

Does anyone know how to keep a Carrier Bearing aka Center Support Bearing from going bad ?

 

keep it on the store shelf. away from water dirt sun etc...srry 4 the smartass comment.

 

Yeah...There is not real keeping it from going bad. Just replacing it once it does. If you are already getting noise from it- It's pretty much toast. Bearings don't do well with trying to repair after they are damaged.

 

thanks guys, yeah its making noise and this is the second bearing i had put on, i just don't understand why its doing this.

 

you have a 2.5 in. rough country suspension lift right? might wanna look at lowering the bearing with a spacer. i dunno
