Driveshaft issues
Driveshaft issues
Help....anyone!!!! I have an 05 coupe that I'm being told needs to have the driveshaft center bearing replaced. My mechanic said he called Chrysler and they told him the bearing isn't available separately. He would need to order the entire driveshaft ($1400.00).
Does anyone know if it's possible to get just the bearing? (Maybe from Mercedes?)

I have never seen one of these bearings but I read on this forum that someone purchased a bearing for $30 and installed it and it worked just fine.
Bearings ar quite cheap and no car maker goes to the expense of getting s special bearing made except in special circumstances, they buy the parts of the shelf.

Re: Driveshaft issues
yes you can get just the carrier bearing and can change it out yourself.
I have my 2 piece driveshaft sitting in my shop from changing out to a single piece aluminum driveshaft, if you want I can take some pics of it split to show the bearing.
no, a new 2 piece shaft is expensive.
Since I made my adapter plates, I have 1/4 the price of a oem shaft and did a single piece aluminum driveshaft with 1310 clip in u joints.

Hi
I can confirm that you can replace the bearing or bearing holder separately, as I have changed them on my car. You can also purchase the holder and bearing as a complete assembly. You don not need an entire driveshaft. Whatever you do though, don't just change the front or the rear section by itself as they are balanced as a complete assembly.
