bikemessenger Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hey guys, I'm brand new to the forums. I've been to the site many times. First time poster. I've found this site is probably the best site on the internet for Toyota Dually info. Anyway, I've got a 1989 Toyota Dually with the 2 piece drive shaft. My carrier bearing at the center is worn out. It buzzing and allowing a lot of play (wobble) in my rear drive shaft. My local dealership wants $289 for a replacement. Can anyone point me towards another source or have a used one for sale? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Get out the phone book and look in the Auto section for a drive line repair service. Most medium sized towns have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemessenger Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Get out the phone book and look in the Auto section for a drive line repair service. Most medium sized towns have one. I already did that. I thought my drive shaft was off balance. Was told it wasn't and that it was the bearing. The drive shaft guy said he has connections on domestic stuff but he couldn't help me with Toyota. He is the one that referred me to the dealership. I really don't want to spend $300. I'm looking for any aftermarket or used alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give your local auto parts store a try I do not think there is any thing unusual about the assembly it's most likely the same as an extended cab Toyota 4X4 pickup.

I had to roll under my MH it sure looks exactly like the one I recently put in my 97 Tacoma 4X4 extended cab I got a dollar that says it's the same thing. Grab one from NAPA and ask if you can bring it back if it's not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maineah Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Now that is helpful info. What year is your camper? Mine is an "87" every thing looks the same "U" joints,flanges I'm guessing one of the drive shafts is longer but I have never measured my Tacoma it's pretty long.
