When a carrier bearing goes bad, replace ALL the U joints. Don't replace all the U joints "just" because you have the shaft out... there's a reason why they should be replaced at once. When a carrier bearing or U joint goes out, it causes the other U joints to wear unevenly especially if the carrier bearing is bad. Uneven wear creates vibrations, and later on you'll be changing the other U joints, and quite possibly changing the ones you've done replaced before. Carrier bearings and U joints work together as a team, when one goes, it'll force the other ones to go even if you don't realize it right away. When a drive shaft wiggles on one end from a bad joint or carrier bearing, the other end is binding up on the other U joint.

[@frankie7torres]

Good point

[@kaileymitchell8610]

I changed the tires and got a new transfer case and driveshaft in my 2012 4x4 Jeep commander...and I still feel vibrations when I drive almost constantly ..I haven’t paid attention to the noice much. I wonder if I got bad U joints..steering feels fine too...just feels like when you drive off the road and hit the ruts on the shoulder of the road and it vibrates real bad to get your attention. That’s my best explanation on how it feels.

[@ivantovar5017]

Did you ever figure out what it was?

[@TradeWinds66]

Thanks for the help with my "veircle", it's been "ekspecially" informative.

[@isaacalfaro5842]

Thank you from CR

[@kalstonii]

It seems like if youre taking it off you may as well replace those u joints and carrier

Is there a reason why transmission fluid was pouring out when my drive shaft fell to ground after ujoints broke?

[@themonk3460]

So I got brake pads and rotor replaced and car was driving quite nice comfortable next day and then same day in one parking I got lost in thoughts and may or may not I just did engine on but not drive mode on when started car with keys (might have moved keys a little but not all the way on) (I am not sure. I was having baby with me and bit distracted with her cry). But when I got it in rear gear and started driving I felt brake is not working so I pulled hand brake and then again tried to move gear in Drive gear and tried but couldn’t slam brake and area was slope so car was driving and I didn’t realize if i just moved key all the way ON or not so I felt car is driving but something wrong with brake since I got them repaired previous day so had this presumption while trying to fix the issue and I tried one more time by moving gear from parking to drive then one time I moved gear from drive to parking directly in hurry rather pulling the handbrake this time while it was engine on but not complete (if it was the case) only mode so then I restarted with key again by moving it all the way this time to make sure that i started it right way and it was working fine and car started having brake work but I felt something wrong cause it become noisy and my brake are vibrating when I am pressing them to brake it’s like not agitating but like slightly hmmmm feel in car body and brakes which wasn’t there before the mess when it started and doesn’t feel smooth quite ride. I somehow finished my 80 miles ride cause car was feeling noisy bit vibrating but was driving. So I took to mechanic next day morning and said if brakes are ok then he said I need wheel balance so I went for wheel balance but I am still feeling 20% of vibrations and noise. I sometimes hear some metal clicking sound underneath. It’s like as if i am cracking my bones same way as if cars parts got stuck and when moving get piping sound. So if did I mess up transmission or struts and coil or something which is causing this. Right now vibrations are not that bad but they are still not completely quite which was in beginning before all that parking incident. So if I go to mechanic they randomly suggesting different things and not sure what could be issues. Someone suggested struts replacement and someone said could be transmission issues and each things costs more than 500-1500 range. So what would be the best way to diagnose and fix this issue if anyone had such experience. If I have to replace struts and coil which brand is best and should i buy online and get them to mechanic as the cost of mechanic suggested one is double than anything is being sold online. I hope it may make ride quite and silent plus less noisy if i buy myself better quality with same inflated price of mechanic and just give it to him. Do I need to check my brakes again? Please suggest. It’s 2011 Corolla base model. Note: I am mostly very mindful and careful when I drive cars and somehow don’t know whether it was bad day or what but I completely lost in presumptions and instead of single time turning key off and then On o kept on using parking gear and hand brake to get it right and if that might have messed transmission and struts or some other parts of the car.

For 4WD applications, does the front shorter shaft have to be in PHASE with the rear shaft?

I have a 2004 toyota tundra v8 4x4 and I replace the shaft but it still vibration when hard it can't drive over 20 mph

[@robpaul7900]

Just changed my u joint rear by rear diff and now it's vibrating not normal before didn't have this at all any suggestions?

[@MarioAlan32]

Bought a used 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the driveshaft made a clunking sound for a few months. When I finally had it checked out I was told the whole drive shaft was bad. The cooling o rings were bad as well. Had all of it Fixed, and now the car runs so smooth. It’s unbelievable. It would drip oil everywhere, every time. Now it is fixed and thanks to the mechanic I have I feel it was fair price to pay compared to a local dealer which would have cost me thousands to fix when it was simple to diagnose with a good mechanic. I was ready to just throw away the car lol

[@venomwolf6110]

I have a 2002 grand Cherokee and I have had this car for only a few months. The clunking noise was there when I got it and it’s only getting worse. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the driveline. So maybe i have to do something similar

Vericle??

[@Brandon_Jackson]

What if my truck is jerking/bouncing when I put it in drive or reverse, it’s not the brakes because it bounces with the rhythm of the engine. I can not find anything that it could be and it’s hard to explain it to someone with them being here to experience it. Please give me an idea of what it could be.

[@nadronnocojr]

I replaced the u joints , and have new tires and balmced recently with a new brake job .. 55 mph and up the vibrations are like a wobble .. so I replaced u joints and it persists . My mechanic said it could be the diff . I have Dakota r/t with posi And it drives fine it still spins tires etc but I can’t drive in highway with out this wobble and it stays all away to max speed , fine below 45;. It vibrates even when coasting On or off gas I don’t wanna junk the truck because the rear differential I can’t afford

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it yet, but the drive shaft needs to be reinstalled in the same position as it came out, especially parts like the center support bearing.

[@rogerpoel613]

Over the The past few years I have benefited from your Repair videos. My compliments to you and your staff on your Professional work in making them. They are no nonsense, and to the point. You don’t have to watch someone having breakfast and see pictures of their girlfriend walking around before they get to the repair. Thank you, keep it straight into the point. Shame on me for taking so long, but I figured I should at least buy some parts from you, in exchange for all the benefits I have received from your videos. After ordering, I checked some of the competitions prices. Yes you were the cheapest! The part I ordered arrived super fast early in the day shipped by UPS. It was extremely well packaged . (it was a long propeller shaft that was packaged in a plywood reinforced box) You guys are the best. Keep up the good work, God Bless, Roger

Will that u joint cause intermittent vibrations between 40 - 45 mph in a 4x4 in drive cruising speed? Vibration will feel like your going over rumble strips or sleeper lines.

[@manuelgonzales6483]

I'm hearing a clunk, and a scrapping sound that gets faster with speed then eventually disappears at freeway speeds...😳😢

What if a rope gets stuck and you hear a noise while your driving pull over and see a rope wrapped around the shaft i go to unravel it and noise stopped and drove like nothing happend but could that have cause it to damage stopping it from moving??

I would like to be able to replace my carrier bearing, oh that’s right, it’s “Non-Servicable”!! (Buy the driveshaft ASSembly!!) -Thanks Ford!

[@timrusell7994]

I just bought it 2001 f350. The guy was telling/showing me it was vibrating a little bit between 30-40 mph but it went away he thinks it might be the carrier bearing saying I should replace soon and should be only around $100 but he let me load up my Tahoe, on the trailer that I drove all the way down there to pick up the truck with, to drive back saying I should be good. but yo check it out when I get home (322miles)because this is the first time I ever drove diesel n not knowing what to expect he said your going to heat so kind of noises you'll be fine and I wasn't sure if it was vibrating or not because of the tires but i was pulling the Tahoe and was got about a 140 down the highway towards home. I went to get over to get fuel as I got over I pushed brake pedal to slow down. All of the sudden I heard a BAM! as I went to slow down( from 70mph)!! the next thing you know drive shaft is gone and I'm coasting up exit ramp, why would braking cause that, would you know? Its a 7.3 that's tuned(?)at 100hp? This is My first diesel so i'm not familiar with them. I bought this because engine(35k) n trans. ( larger trans cooler) were redone 2 yrs ago. Oh yeah walked down highway and couldn't find driveshaft that took the ujoint n yolk with it, waiting for tow truck now as I ask this. $840 tow 177miles😔 Anyways would you know why rear driveshaft would pop off while braking? Lose pin rings holding them onto ujoints n combination with bad carrier bearing or so I have worse problems Thank you in advance for any info anyone can give!!

[@Jeremy_Zack_Lucas]

I have a 2013 Ford edge and when I accelerate I hear a humming noise. Sounds like those big trucks tires going down the road. Anyway, I took it to Midas and they said it's either the transmission, differential or transfer case. Thankfully have a warranty but does anybody have any idea what it could be? This vehicle is AWD.

[@derricksavoie2094]

Id change them all why take them down and not replace all

[@Cocozen]

What is the part in the middle you skipped

[@zerep11]

Really need some help here ... Would a weak (not as stout as the original) driveshaft cause a 2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD to vibrate under hard acceleration or while turning left or right. BTW ... 1. The two-piece driveshaft and carrier bearing are less than two years old. 2. Same applies to Motor and Transmission Mounts, plus Bushings, Control Arms, Ball Joints, etc. 3. In short, all items are fairly new except the tires that are five years old (General RT-43s).

[@perryhanson7878]

The problem I'm having is the tranfercase ceal keep leaking I've replaced it three times and about 2000 miles it starts again I've replaced all the ujoints and carrier bearing I still have a vibration at about 55 miles an hour to 65 then it gos away any advice

Can you fix my Jeep Liberty? First I started hearing clicking, then clunking, then clunking and catching then increasingly higher vibrations, I think it’s all drive shaft related but I don’t really have the means to fix it

Have you noticed that place on the “vericle” where it says Jeep? There’s your problem!

[@dinovelevet6]

Changed 03 drive shaft because it was making a clunking sound AMD not going into reverse or neutral but was driving forward with no problem. Since ive changed the drive shaft now ots going into reverse and neutral but wont go into drive. When put in drive its making a sound as if the drive shaft and transmission aren't syncing.
