    that face when you're taking apart the U-joint to replace a bad carrier bearing, and find broken needles inside :annoyed:

    ^ yup
    That face when you read a post about broken drivetrain parts, and find out it's just a bunch of words...

    A U joint is like a $30 part though for a whole assembly. Not that bad at all in the big scheme of things.

    Yeah, $30 for the Moog. $91 for the Toyota part. Not the worst thing ever, but still annoying.
    and for those demanding pictures, get a coloring book to help you deal with it.

    If we had feels.

    Who TF buys U-joints from the dealer? They're Spicer, whether from the dealer or from Amazon...I recommend Amazon.

    Look at the bright side, a new u-joint will be a performance improvement!

    That face when you find out maybe it could have been covered under extended drivetrain warranty. :anonymous:

    Edit: or my face when I realize you're talking about carrier bearing and not u-joint

    You should replace All of the universal joints as the other two are probably near the same condition..

    Actually... There is a driveshaft warranty enhancement. I had a u-joint replaced at over 150k under it. But you take a chance because if they diagnose something else you owe the diagnostic fee.
    I think it's something like ZH2 customer service program

    Hmm. I find it ran until April of last year. I ad previously been told I did not have any open TSB's, and none showed up in my searching by vin.

    Oh well. All 3 replaced. I need to buy a clamp style tool, I hate the hammer or clamp and sockets methods
