X3 SCR Sandcraft carrier bearing failure? This is part two where we reveal the truth.

[@Casperarizona]

Broooo! I didn’t know that there was a Sandcraft Mod for this. I am soooo ordering it right now. Thank Youuu so Much for this video. I have a bad clonk every time I give it gas. Going to check this next.

[@HooverManeuvers]

Hope this helps you figure out what is going on 👍

[@underourrock]

I've got a pretty bad rattle at 5400 rpm. A little below that and a little above that it goes away. Thank you for giving me something I can check.

Thanks for watching. Sorry for the late reply I didn't get a notification

Great job , I’ve watched sandcrafts install vid and dident even want to mess with installing one of these as they do the circlip once everythings back in the car I like your method way better , makes the install way easier Great vid

[@HooverManeuvers]

Thanks. I know it was kinda hokie bending the clip like I did, but not too hard to change out later if I want

[@jamesstinett6291]

Also what lift is that makes work a lot easier for an older guy like me I dont bend as easy as I used to

[@HooverManeuvers]

Not sure the brand. Bought it used. But it's almost identical to the Harbor Freight ones I've seen. HEAVY DUTY and strong. Lifts my 2500HD with no problems

[@zaneturner8423]

Does that rear universal joint need to be clocked a certain way to the front universal joint ?

[@HooverManeuvers]

good point. in reviewing the video I couldn't remember if I did that or not. definitely on my mind as with my previous car, 2015 XP100, I had the driveline rebuilt to do just that

[@robertknasel2270]

Question is what caused the failure and would you recommend the product?

[@HooverManeuvers]

The failure was the C clip on the driveline dislodged. The old one was reused. Probably a more proper method would be to replace that C clip.

[@robertknasel2270]

@@HooverManeuvers was the bearing a press fit, or did it just slip on?

[@HooverManeuvers]

@@robertknasel2270 slip on

[@robertknasel2270]

@@HooverManeuvers any problems since, I was going to pass on their product based on your title, and your first video, I am thinking it would be better if it was a split design like Super ATV with a tighter tolerance bearing that would press on, that would take some stress off of the snap ring, I think the snap ring should only keep the bearing from beginning to move but not be as stressed as it seems to be. Also may not be fair to have a title and part one video to them, because you are most likely casing them a lost of business. If the part is substandard then it may be deserved.

[@HooverManeuvers]

@@robertknasel2270 I believe they have a newer design now. Nonetheless I haven't had a problem since the video. I would recommend this product.

[@ericlaplante2291]

did you phase the front and rear drive shaft?

[@HooverManeuvers]

Yes.

[@canamx3patagoniaargentina152]

I removed it completely because in a 4x4 bibra they told me that you have to strengthen that arm, would you recommend something? im from argentina

[@HooverManeuvers]

I don't know. Sorry for the late reply I didn't get a notification

[@jamesstinett6291]

Looks like the keeper came off

[@HooverManeuvers]

Yep

[@underourrock]

I'm not against bending the c-clip a little, but if you find yourself in that position again, try to make 4 or 5 much smaller bends all the way around the clip instead of focusing all the force on one spot. Might take a pair of pliers and clamp and bend a little in the different spots so the stress isn't focused. Not being critical here. I admire the video and the very useful information, and I'm just trying to share a little work around if you find yourself in a situation like that again where a c clip is a little loose. It's worth taking the extra minute or two to spread that deformation around.

[@HooverManeuvers]

Good idea. Sorry for the late reply I didn't get a notification
