Any Ford Mechanics out there?
The carrier bearing (drive shaft center support bearing) in my 06 F150 went out today.
The bearing itself isn't bad so much as it has come out of the rubber that surrounds it. The auto parts house guys say they can't find it in their books...
Did some poking around on the net this evening, a driveshaft company in Texas says that the carrier bearing/driveshaft is not servicable, and Ford wants $800.00 - $900.00 for it... The drive shaft place has a "better" replacement (theirs does look better, it can be repaired anyway) for a mere $675.00 plus $50.00 for the ride here...
Anyone know if any of this is true???
My neighbor may need a new drive shaft in the morning...
