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

In for another round!

 

Hit up their website bud! You should be able to buy it from them direct now at the lower price.

 

Will do tomorrow. I don't want to accidently buy too many being this tired haha

 

It is my plan to rebuild the entire drive shaft. Just trying to avoid too much work - and cost - at the moment

 

So I have the

$24 Spicer 5-153X U-Joint - Individual

Spicer 5-153X and

$20 5-213X U-Joint Kit 1330 Series (OSR)

5-213X UJoints in my Amazon Wishlist but can't quite remember how many per model #. Anyone have a clue?

 

For reference.

 

Anyone want mine? $73 shipped. Ended up getting a better deal on a different part locally with install. Just shoot me a PM


////SOLD////

 

A different part?
Do tell.

 

I was talking to a friend of mine who works in parts at a Mercedes dealer I used to work at and he got me a non-poly bearing from one of his parts warehouses that won't require having to rig up the supports and I'm having one of my old techs install the part. All he want's is a bottle of cheap whiskey so couldn't turn that down.

 

You're obligated to tell us about this after you're done!

 

Definitely will do. Hopefully will have it on by end of next week.

paid $36 in canada

 

Looks about the same as the IEDLS one.

 

rubber vs poly is the only difference, I wanted to try this and if it fixes my vib issue then if this thing down the road goes to crap I can always buy the 125 usd one.

 

I had this same issue (when I put it in drive or reverse there would be a thunk or clack) and I took it to a shop and the guy noticed there was a Crack in my u joint. my first thought was the center bearing which brought me to this thread a while back. another issue that the cracked u joint brought was when I'd let off the gas and then get back on it there would be a thunk or knock. the reason I'm saying all this is because you might want to check your joints. while the poly bearing may have remedied your symptoms I'd still go take a look

 

thanks for the info. I will double check, but my guy checked everything while he was under there putting in the new CB and doing my torque converter.

 

Ahh you probably good then

 

Any updates? I've got the same setup as you and would like some insight before i dive in. I have the carrier bearing, in plastic, awaiting install....lookin all lonely like while i try to find as much info as i can. I'm most likely grabbing all the u joints before i do anything and replace while I'm at it. I'm just trying to eliminate some of the guess work in the length of the spacer needed.
