How to Replace the Carrier Bearing and Bushing on a Volvo 240

[@Erased_in_Space]

your videos are a gem to the volvo 240 community

I just replaced this- 92 wagon had 2” driveshaft. Removal of the rear bolts on the diff was easy with 15 and 17mm wrenches. First attempt at the front bolt did not yield very well but I realized it was not needed to remove. Bearing pull and replace under the car was just about as much time as bolts off and on. Scratch line with a screw driver provided a good alignment guide. Found one of the four body threads for the support was rusted out after removal. Autozone puller rental and bearing hammer allowed the use of one bearing base to pressure the puller with a small piece of steel to block the hole. 2 hours broken up

I really enjoy your videos, they have helped me with a lot of what I’m doing to my Volvo 760 little different but same principles

Glad they've come in handy. :-)

Is it possible to use ”normal” washer instead of that which has edges for the spring?

[@LongbowMedia]

I imagine the curved washer allows for the spring to properly seat inside the bushing. So my initial thought would be that a flat washer would be inadvisable. Can anyone else comment to this?

If the bearings are bad, do they cause vibration?

[@ljbrizo]

Usually a u joint,bearings they howl

[@daftnord4957]

The rubber bushing being old and worn out, yes. The u-joints bad, yes. The carrier bearing probably wouldn't cause vibrations too bad

It’s called a center support bearing….. A CARRIER BEARING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A DRIVESHAFT !!!
