What happens when a carrier bearing goes bad?
If the bearing goes bad, it will make a sort of roaring or growling sound while you’re cruising down the road, and you may feel a vibration throughout the car as you drive.
What are signs of a bad carrier bearing?
Symptoms of Bad Carrier Bearings and U-Joints
- Vibration Under Acceleration. If the carrier bearing loosens, it can separate from the bracket and clunk as the driveshaft spins.
- Spinning or Grinding Noise Under the Vehicle.

How do I know if my U joint is bad Tacoma?
Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Universal Joint (U-Joint)
- Squeaking noise when starting to move (forward or reverse)
- “Clunk” with a ringing sound when shifting from Drive to Reverse.
- Vibration felt throughout the vehicle while moving forward at speed.
- Transmission fluid leaks from the rear of the transmission.
How long does it take to change a carrier bearing?
That’s very difficult to answer due to the multiple variables involved in removing and replacing hard to access components such as the center driveshaft on a front wheel drive vehicle like your Edge. However, in general, this type of job can often be completed in one business day; or less than 8 service hours.
Should there be any movement in a carrier bearing?
There should be no side/side up/down in/out play. At least that is able to be seen/felt without measuring instruments. If you have play where you can take the pinion and wiggle it you may have so really bad clearances in your pinion bearings which will cause a pinion seal failure and will chew up your ring/pinion.
How do you replace a carrier bearing on a Tacoma?
The back half (the part that goes from the carrier bearing to the rear differential will not have to be removed). Step 1 – Mark the alignment of the transmission output shaft flange to the U-joint carrier assembly. See pic below. Step 2 – Loosen the 4, 14mm bolts on the transmission output shaft flange. The nut uses a 14mm wrench.
What kind of wrench to use to replace carrier bearing?
Both the nut and bolt head use a 14mm wrench. Again, I suggest using wrenches and not a ratchet/socket. These were so tight that I had to use a ¾” wrench as an additional breaker bar by doubling it up on the14mm wrench. Break torque is 54 ft-lbs. Step 5 – Insert floor jack under the rear half of the propeller shaft.
What’s the correct way to replace a bearing?
Step 12 – Be sure that you replace the washers and nut back on in the correct order of removal. Place the nut back on the shaft and tighten to 134 ft-lbs. This seats the bearing properly. Step 13 – Loosen the nut and then re-torque to 51 ft-lbs.
What’s the torque on a Tacoma propeller shaft?
Break torque is 54 ft-lbs. Step 5 – Insert floor jack under the rear half of the propeller shaft. You don’t have to support it at this point, just put it underneath it. Step 6 – Loosen the two carrier bearing bolts. Step 7 – The driveshaft should come out now.
