I have a 93 22re 4x4 extended cab DLX. I have replaced the carrier bearing 3 times now. All of them wearing out and becoming sloppy. My question is that Is it possible to make the 2 pc drive shaft into a one pc?

Suspension altercations are
Rear add a leaf
Front cranked up torsion bars

Thanks

 

There was a thread a while back on this. I believe it ended up being the pinion bearing going out in the 3rd member.

 

Also he found out the pinion bearing was bad after he had a one piece driveshaft made and still had a bad vibration.

 

Well the vibrations are from my carrier bearing. I can move it about 1/2 inch up and down. I get it replaced and its silky smooth then within a short time is bad again. I would like to do away with it all together.

 

I dont do allot of hard core wheeling, mostly trails and grocery store runs....

 

That's what this other guy's problem was, it was eating carrier bearings so he done away with the 2 piece, and still had vibrations. See if your pinion bearing is bad before you spend several hundred dollars on a one piece driveshaft.

 

Here it is.

The answer:

Yes you can run a 1 piece driveshaft.

is there one that will just bolt on? I don't think so. I know on trucks a one piece can be used if you're using a dual case off a 4Runner, but without that extra length, probably wont work.

Its not expensive to get a custom driveshaft with a flex/cv joint made. Mine cost me about 120 to be sleeved, and a CV joint added on my 4Runner.

Good luck.

 

Ok, im looking for a Diveshaft person in my area to see what the cost of a 1 pc shaft.

thanks all!!
