1997 4runner center support bearing? Can't find one...

EDIT: ok, so I feel dumb. shouldve had him send me a picture before posting (im in a different state). he has no CSB. problem solved. I just assumed he did since autozone and others showed a valid part for it. we'll check the u-joints now for the noise


My friend has a 97 runner, my 96 taco takes a different CSB apparently.

Mine:


His:


We're really good at locating parts, but this one is just not available.

Anyone know what to do here?
Thanks.

Red face

Is it the original one ??

Has some one done some drive shaft custom work??

When I can`t find things I go VIN in hand to my local Toyota dealer

Was this vehicle bought outside of CONUS and brought home??

Where did the picture come from of your friends ??

It almost looks like that bearing could be pressed out and a new one pressed in.

Any number on the bearing??

That one looks bent, yes? It looks similar to what was in the '90 4Runner 3.0....though not exact.

It does not look like an original part per the EPCs that I can find.
Custom work or prior owner modification?
