    Hey guys I'm trying to see where I can buy a Toyota factory Carrier Bearing and three U joints for a 2007 Tacoma 4x4. Been having a vibration at 50-65mph. The vibration smoothes out at higher speed. There's also vibration if I really get on it at 15-25mph but nothing if I'm driving normal. Any help would be appreciated on where to find the parts!

    (Edit: I just realized i posted in 3rd gen and can't figure out how to delete thread. Maybe carrier bearing and U joints are the same though.)

    The carrier bearing is best replaced by a factory OEM one. The spicer joints can be sourced from any auto parts. I think I got mine on RockAuto.

    Ok cool. If I can get the spicer u joints at the auto parts that's simple but what about the carrier bearing

    Dealership. The ones you get at RockAuto or a parts store are known to wear out in 200 miles or so.

    Do you wheel your truck and if so how hard? Couple of other options but the vibes that come with it aren't worth it to most. And some modifications.

    The Chevy one I believe fits with some slight mods.

    I mostly travel on thousands of miles of washboard road with occasional trail runs. I'm honestly surprised at the abuse my truck has been through and haven't had any issues really haha. Sounds like I have to bite the bullet and head to the dealership for the part. I sure hope it helps

    Update: Purchased the Carrier bearing from stealership today and 3 Spicer U joints from NW drive lines. Carrier bearing box says made in Brazil but says Toyota on the rubber. Sure do charge a lot for being made out of country. I highly recommend working with NW drive lines these guys are helpful.
