I Have a 97 dodge, the (truck in my sig), I have replaced the bearing in my drive shaft, it was so blown that it howeld and shook like 2 inches. I changed it out and the shuttering @ take off whent away. I did a few burnouts, and now the suttering in the truck has come back. Does anyone know of a super solid bearing set up for these carrier bearings. I am also thinking the shutter is in my transmuission, but i think it was strange that it went away when i put in a fresh bearing. I have noticed the shuttering only @ take off. the truck does not do it past 5-10 mph depending how hard i hammer it. it also doesnt do it during a break stand. kinda wierd.

hmm get under it and shake it to see how much play its got in it, man those r a b-otch to change, when i get 1 at the shop i dont even mess w/ trying to press 1 off i just cut it.

I had a universal go tits up and it made my truck shutter in a nasty manner. Though carrier was trashed,but it was just the two rear shft u joints.

Hmmm.....If that new carrier is dead all ready, take a look at your driveline. Have you hit something with it? My fix or repair daily has a ever so slightly bent driveline and it vibrates at only a certain speed. It is just a back country truck, so I haven't bothered to fix it yet. If it is a U joint, you will notice a "click" when you let off the accelerator and another "click" when you get back on.

I have not hit anything, I just replaced the bearing cause when i got the truck, the carrier bearing was so shot, the guy thought the tranny was blown. I changed it and it was like i put a new transmission in my truck, for 116.00 bucks. I drove it 15 miles and the vibration is back...evarything feels tight. i noticed the carrier bearing is incased with rubber...was woundering if they sell a solid mounted one that will not give under tourque. maybe i just need my shaft balanced but the truck runs fine @ high speed it just shutters on take off from dead stop. I can mash the skinny pedal if im rolling and it wont shutter though.... its just strange prolly another thing i am going to chase for moths.

did you put your shims back in some trucks have shims to adjust the driveline

naw, i didnt have any shims. everything i took out i put back. i think its strange that it worked fine, for 15 miles and one hell burner and after that it started to shake a bit. i have driven it about 6000 miles and its not getting worse but its anoying.

something is out of balance i would take it to a driveline shop it might be twisted a bit or something

just throwing this out there is your drive line in phase? i have popped alot of u joints in my jeep from being out of phase

The rubber is there for a reason, its an isolator that keeps from killing joints and bearings... I used to work for Dana and was the head test tech for the Ford Super Duty carrier bearing... Ran all sorts of mud bath tests on the stupid things to recreate the Arizona desert sand. Anyways, its easy to tell when they go bad, it'll have slop, feel like it has sand in it, and in some cases the races will turn blue from heat. Throw the trans in N, throw the rear end on jackstands, and spin the driveshaft a bit... You'll know if its any good still. Did you put the last one on yourself? If so, are you sure you seated the bearing all the way onto the shaft? I've seen a lot of guys leave them a few thousandths short and that leaves a side load on the bearing that will kill them prematurely. If the bearing is still good, your trans is shot most likely, or you have a poorly set up rear end.

What do you mean by in phase? im guessing it not......i have a lift so maybe i need to change the angle of the axle??

phase is the way the yokes on the ends are lined up. i am not really sure how to explain it but google it. or some one else on here can maybe explain it better.
