How many have replaced their carrier bearing? - Dodge Diesel

smokindog · 07-28-2006, 09:51 AM

I'm just curious how many have replaced 1, replaced mutiple, or never replaced a carrier bearing on their truck.

I am knocking on the door of 200K and this is the second one for me. The first was around 130K and I opted for a Spicer in lieu of the Mopar. This time the OEM will go back on.

Had to replace a set in my '97 at 114k. I thought it was a little unusual for a Dana 60. Also, it was only the one side that was going bad. I replaced both, of course, but I never thought I'd have the problem at all.

Are we talking Carrier Bearing as in center bearing of The 2 piece driveshaft?
Or Carrier Bearings in a Differential as Stated above?

1 Center Carrier bearing for me @ 170000 miles

I think smokindog is talking about the hanger bearing on the rear driveshaft.

FWIW, I had to replace one at 170k......there is 223k on the truck now. I put on a NAPA bearing.

My buddy dodgediesel4x4 just had his seperate on him after towing 15k+ lbs. He's got 101,000. First one for him and he's lifted and needs ladder bars bad.

oohhhh you ll know it....clucnk, clunk bang......etc etc.

I replaced one and FWIW early 98's are different then all others. It took serior effeort to get the correct one. Mine is bigger then the one all the books call for (except the oem #)

my old man replaced one on his 95 at about 150K, ive replaced mine because 4 wheeling over large banks of dirt and rocks with steep angles dont mix...i hit the bearing on a rock and bent it back, removing the rubber and bearing from the metal housing itself

I was having a severe driveline vibration issue and it tore the rubbe support so I'm replacing it with the u joints.
