Closed (for now): Group Buy: IEDLS Polyurethane Carrier Bearing

If I was building this thing from scratch for Tacoma, I'd duplicate the factory design but with the poly instead of rubber. No top plate needed and no custom spacers necessary. Etc.

It would just be easier, that's all.

 

oh absolutely. I maybe thought there was more to making these fit.

 

The one you have? Yes, there may be more than just a simple swap over. Some members have made custom "brackets" to mount the new CB at the right height. The fun is just beginning.

Agree, would be awesome to have this CB in a stock-like bracket! Would be much easier to get the correct configuration.

 

Apologies, but I'm a little confused now. It seems pretty straight forward from what I'm gathering. made the top plate... not to install. like this.. no?



just going over the first post. am I missing something?

 

If your angles are good with this then you are good to go.

 

@XPOTRPR
Here's what HH did.

Another one, more like the one you posted.

 

That's for DCLB. for DCSB, must invert and fabricate spacers

 

Thanks guys. I gotta say, I was under the impression it was as easy as make the plate, and install. thats what I gathered from the OP anyways. Regardless, it'll happen. looks like I'll be making some brackets then. Although, I really would prefer it not to hang that low, or have the bolt heads hanging. might need to crawl under the truck and think about this more...

 

I'll be watching.

 

I may try just seeing how everything lines up when its mounted with the plate side up and go from there. You guys think mounts/spacers milled from Solid Aluminum would be strong enough?

 

I would think that would work.

 

Might be a project for next week then.

Although, I would still prefer it the other way (plate up). looks cleaner, less of it hanging to snag on stuff. Especially since it wouldnt have the hard edges like if it were to be mounted with spacers.

 

Agree. Try it. Might work out for you. Check the angles. Do pre-install angles too, just so you have something to go off of.

 

Will do. . I don't see there being any real issues though. Just sitting a lower.. Maybe a little more inline too.

 

It could. Would be great. Only one way to know, I suppose.
I liked what someone suggested above, about using this type of material in the OEM bracket. Would be awesome!

 

Just doesn't fit huh?

Hmmm..

 

Haven't tried, but the shapes are totally different.

 

True true.. Maybe I can make a whole new carrier for the IEDLS bearing to sit into..

 

You would have yourself a nice product to sell. I'll be your first customer.

 

@nd4spdbh

I'm having trouble separating the yoke from the shaft. Is this how you used the two jaw puller?

Splines are soaking in penetrating oil now...
