    I am having some squeaking and vibrations that I've narrowed to the carrier bearing or a u joint, so I have decided to replace them all. Where is the best place to find these? Any recommendations on brands, vendors, etc?

    Those are for sure the correct ones for a 2006 4 dr, 4wd, TRD?

    After further research it appears that this is correct. This page offers a list of interchangeable replacements that seems accurate from what I've read elsewhere: http://www.northerndrivetrain.com/product/SPI-5-213X.html

    I ordered the Spicer 5-213x, and it will get here tomorrow. I am going to install tomorrow after measuring to ensure is indeed the correct part. I will update everyone after.

    My carrier bearing is making sound and I wanna replace it before it blows out and leaves me stranded. Does anyone know of a write up? I have searched and not found one.

    Thanks Phill. How difficult would you say it is to do just the CB and how long would it take?

    I took me few hours but I had messed up one of my u-joints and had to go pick up a new one. If I have to do it again I would say I could do it in one hour.

    Now that Im thinking about this, am I going to blow the new CB if I dont do a drop? I have 2" lift in front ~1.5" in back.

    I don't think you would destroy it without the drop. I drove around for years with a 2.5" lift in the front and 1" lift in the back, and I never experienced and issues with the carrier bearing.

    Wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if the front u joints are the same as the rear u joints? Looking in other places I am getting conflicting information.

    I know the u-joints on the shaft going to the front axle are not the same as the rear axle in my truck.
