Carrier bearing took a dump. It's "non-serviceable" so a new driveshaft was $1000-1200. I found this bearing housing kit from jxb performance. $300 an fixed the problem. I still don't understand why such a short driveshaft needs a carrier but whatever. Only other stuff I've had to do is both front abs sensors an brakes. The Interior is starting to rattle thanks to the wonderful SC roads. She's closing in on 100k though!

Ugh I had one in my old '00 S10 too. It bit the dust about the same mileage as this one. I had a 1 piece aluminum made to replace it. Ran me about $400 iirc. That got rid of a vibration that truck had between 40-45 since it was new. Dealer never could "replicate the issue" lol.

I'm sure it has something to do with available space vs critical speed vs material it could be made from etc etc.

I'll have to ask my dad about that, my mom's '12 Charger R/T has ~130k on it and I don't recall him ever mentioning replacing a carrier bearing

If it goes out you'll swear it's the RF wheel bearing, but it isn't lol. Mine sounded like the Jetsons car....
