07 Tacoma carrier bearing
So..........I was crawling under my truck yesterday and noticed something odd, the carrier bearing (in the middle of the rear driveshaft) appears to not be a bearing at all but a rubber bushing of some sort. Does anyone know if it is supposed to be this way or if it was a solid bearing and mine has disintegrated? I can push and pull the driveshaft half an inch either way at the bearing. Is this normal? I don’t have any driveshaft wobble or anything; it just doesn’t seem that with the speed the driveshaft is spinning that any sort of rubber/elastomer would hold up for long. Anybody know? Thanks.
