Replace CB or get a Tom Woods DS?

The title says it all. I've been vacillating on this for a while now. My driveshaft is a 2-piece unit that uses a double cardan. I have already greased everything since the picture was taken
The u-joints seem to be fine for now, but in the future...

This poster says the one piece DS made his vibration issue worse.

Replace your carrier bearing, then if the double cardan goes out you could get a lower mileage driveshaft from a junkyard or have a shop cut the double cardan off and install a new one. The driveshaft repair shop nearby said they’d do it for me no problem.

 

The purpose of a CB is designed to absorb vibrations, not provide high clearance for offroad. Eliminating the CB will cause more felt vibration.

 

welcome to TW!

I agree with the above posts. FWIW, Tom Woods no longer makes 1 piece rear Tacoma driveshafts since its not guaranteed to fix driveline vibrations

 

Why everybody always think of tom woods? Driveshafts have been in vehicles from over a century and there’s plenty of other local options that will build what ever you ask them to do. Anyway, almost Friday.

 

Awesome, thank you for all of your replies! It looks like a new CB is the way to go. Does anyone have any recommendations? Supplier, part#, etc.

 

RockAuto, Timken. If I remember correctly that is the OEM manufacturer

 

Spicer is OEM actually.

2117501X from Rock Auto is what you'll want. (not that there is anything wrong with Timken, they make good bearings)
