I bought used a 2000 Tundra 3 years ago with 70k miles on it and had to replace the centre support bearing (p/n 37230) almost immediately. I had the truck in for general maintenance last week and was advised that the bearing needs to be replaced AGAIN! Phoning around with queries seems to indicate that this should not be happening every 3 years/every 30k miles if really at all. Any ideas? Thanks
Possibly an out of alignment carrier bearing, maybe offset too much or twisted slightly. It could possibly be an out of balance driveshaft. Sometimes small weights affixed to the driveshaft fall off. If it is out of balance it could cause additional wear.
All the universal joints are OK? The shop did not say anything about those? Do you feel any vibration from under the truck at higher speeds?

Changing professions or purchasing a service truck so I can make this one all about fun!
Perhaps a small vibration through the seat of your pants at 60mph+ but nothing very noticeable. No knowledge of any issues with the universal joints but will have them checked out. Thanks
