Just pulled out the driveshafts last night to rectify a big vibration issue with a bad carrier bearing. Thing is dry rotted andweak! Before i blow money on a replacement i was curious if theres some sort of aftermarket alternative that lasts longer? I also recently replaced the diff bushings with urethane so it would be nice to have a carrier bearing that could take more abuse.

thanks

 

One piece CF drive shaft?

 

Thats probably pretty pricey?

I heard about the aluminum one but also read it's not being made anymore. It's curious that such a prone to wear item like this bearing doesn't have much aftermarket support. I cant even find the part itself anywhere but Z1 and random online infiniti dealers.

 

How many miles on the car?

 

I have a very nice CF driveshaft for a 6MT that I could be persuaded to sell for the right price. PM me if you have any interest in it.

 

80k something which is why the bearing is old and failed, but doesnt matter as to what the replacement might be.

Black betty, id be interested if your price was around what i might spend on the original part, but i think thats not the case. Thanks for the offer though. The next big cash blow i make on the car is for HFCs and a tune so i finally make full use of the tanabe exhaust and stillen CAI i have.

 

Can anyone point out the most reputable dealer online to get parts from? Im ready to just order the stock part so i can finally get my car back on the road. I tried discount infiniti parts which worked last week but now the site appears to be down.
