Sloppy Carrier Bearing (vid)

Toyota change my driveshaft today... I never seen where do I have to use that piece specific piece?...

PS: Sorry for my bad english.

 

the spacers go where the middle of the drive shaft bolts up with the carier bearing, in the middle of the drive shaft basically.

 

Sorry, but I have to add that carrier bearing or is a OEM piece?

Maybe, the other owner take that piece out?

 

It's an OEM piece...I think it would be between your second and third photos...A short drive shaft coming from the back of the t-case going back...a carrier bearing...and then the longer angled driveshaft to the rear diff.

 

Where did you get the spring packs with 7 leafs in them? Seems they would give us more weight carrying capacity and possibly prevent the axle wrap somewhat.

 

no......its on the truck from the factory.

 

Actually... I'm waiting for a pair of RANCHO Shim's of 2.5 degree's. But today the dealer change the complete driveshaft. And I was looking some info about the Fitting Kit of OME to prevent the life of my new driveshaft.

This is my first TACOMA... It's a 2006... Is everything okay? Is that the OEM driveshaft?

 

The regular cab doesn't have carrier?

 

Makes sense to me...Shorter wheelbase wouldn't need it.

 

Yes, it is a Regular Cab.

 

Im needing to replace my carrier bearing in my 2000 tacoma 4x4 and was wondering if there was a specific brand that i should buy that will preform better?

 

Nice post, fixed me right up. Smooth as factory. Cost $0.00 15 min.
Thanks

I had a 77 Lincoln town car that had similar issues after I tried to replace the joints in the drive shaft and ended up taking it to a good driveline shop to correct. The shop only did drivelines and really knew how to install them correctly. Here is a link to a similar joint being fixed in a van. The driveline has to be spot on or it will vibrate. It has to be aligned from the bearing to the diff. If it is off at all you will feel the vibes.

now can this cause a popping noise some times caz im starting to get that and i know my front diff is starting to go bad i have a lot of play in my driver side drive axle at the diff and i know i need new outter tie rods but thats not my noise but on my rear drive shaft you can push it up and down some i know that can cause a vib but i dont have that i just have a popping noise at time some days it will really do it then some days you never hear it does any one know anything ??????

 

OK i know this is NOOB talk and i am sure it has been said but how much play is it supost to have? I have had my truck lifted for almost 3 years now and 3 weeks ago I started to have a slit shutter from 0-5 mph! I emailed the guy that makes the drop brackets and he said it mite just be wore out so what is to much play? I reason i ask is because i have started to drive my truck more the last few months and am going on a road trip to cali next weekend! thanks guys for any help!

 

damn!!!

 

Thanks for the info that guy got back to me fast brew!

 

I was going to attempt a reply to this post that would be useful to you. The lack of punctuation has discouraged me. I have no clue where to start and stop quoting!

Good luck.
