how to tell carrier bearing is bad?

Actually I have...never priced one though.

Id like to get another drive shaft anyways so I can replace mine and carry my old one as a spare on the trails

 

I may be in como nc towards the end of Oct and I would love to make a pit stop near u and drool on ur truck. its one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

 

Its around 8"s because the pro comp lift gave me 6"s on factory suspension but I have the coilovers that get me to the full 8"

 

Rear should get a one piece with a double cardon at the transfer case.

Front shaft may need double carbons at both ends of the shaft so you can drop the front diff enough to save your cv's.

Post pics of your cv angles in the front, I bet they're really bad.

 

Thanks! We should meet up!

 

I'll post pics tomorrow in the daylight.

The angles are actually not that bad to me

 

8"? You have problems that won't be simply corrected by dropping your carrier bearing.

 

Actually he should have the same cv angles as a 2" lift. The 6" dropped the front diff as if there was no lift on the cv's. Then the coilovers lifted it 2" and actually affected the cv angles.

 

The thing is I have dropped it...but I'm gonna drop it more

I'm pretty sure my vibes are coming from a bad carrier bearing.

The vibes are actually not as bad as when I had my 3" bilstien lift

 

Yeah I forgot... k-member drop, one piece rear shaft is still a really good idea.

 

Yeah your exactly right. That's why I'm not concerned with my CV angles and that's why I went with another 2 inches

The CV angles look close to factory.


I don't know if I mentioned it but my lift is a drop diff lift

 

you forgot to add west

 

Well for the time being I'm gonna space out my carrier bearing another .5" and actually replace the carrier bearing and finally I'm gonna get one of those drive shaft spacers to put the yoke back to its factory location

Then within a few months I'm gonna get me a one piece drive shaft

 

Wtf are you talking about. Who said I don't care? One of my previous posts says I'm gonna buy a new carrier bearing as well. AND yes I'm gonna shim it more to help with my vibes!

If all your gonna do is talk shit then please don't do it on one of my threads
