    Hello all.
    Looking for advice.
    5.7 Tundra 345000 mile doing my 5000 oil change tire rotationand grease job. Noticed my carrier bearing has play in it About 3/8 plus or minus and Dry rot rubber.
    Since it is on its way out. And I see where you pretty much have to pull the whole drive shaft out. I'm thinking I might replace all the u joints. Since it's already out, or do yall think I should just replace the one I have to take apart, And see how long the rest last. Also Is there a company that sells greasable carrier bearing.

    Thank you Vince.

    That is for a Crewmax, your driveshaft may have a different or no boot. Regardless the supplier may be able to assist.

    Hard to know without conducting a bunch of analytic procedures on both. Just sharing my sources. Never had a quality problem with SKF bearings in anything during my life though.
