Hey guys, I've been on here quite a bit. I have a 2000 v8 Sport, drove it nearly 1200 miles from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to Atlanta GA where I am training for my new job. I have a CV that is going bad, it's starting to click away, I normally do all the work on this car myself, but...

Had the carrier bearing replaced today. Only cost $100 in labor, I am going to miss that when I move to Atlanta. Fixed all low speed vibrations and noises, high speed vibration still there. Pretty sure its CV's from the way it behaves, vibration worse with acceleration, let off and its fine.

I probably should have clarified, I was referring to my original post. They indexed the driveshaft when they dropped the trans, and there were no problems right after they did it. Its only be several months after. I already check for play, there is none.

Thanks for the info Sport_LS I got the part for $136 or something, but I live in a backwater town, so they probably added something on. I actually asked the shop if they indexed the driveshaft and they said they did. I was able to confirm they did, by looking at the end myself, you can see...

Well I just ordered the part for $140 from the dealership. I myself can't do the job because it requires removing the exhaust and heatshield to access the driveshaft. And I don't have a garage or a lift. But I am only being quoted about 2.5 hours of labor to do it, and where I live labor is...

Are you absolutely certain its the pinion? Pinion's tend to make a whiny noise as well. I have a humming/growling noise myself, took it to shop and its my drive shaft carrier bearing. As its been getting worse it makes quite the noise and causes quite the vibration right in the hump in the back...

Well I do have an unsolvable vibration at 70+, in addition to noise. I asked this question on the forum before, because I had my Torque Converter replaced, this all developed after they did this. I was assured that disconnecting the driveshaft at the transmission wouldn't have made a difference...

Yes! Thank you, I couldn't really figure out what it was called or what it would look like. The dealer should have this?

Maybe I should clarify, not the U-joint, the actual driveshaft bearing that the driveshaft spins in. I have yet been able to find anything online that resembles anything like it.

No I didn't get a quote, they said they wouldn't be able to get the part from any of their suppliers? Suggested I look for it online or try and find a used one. I don't actually really understand what it looks like up there, hence me asking.

Had a drivetrain shop take my car out and listen and feel the vibration in the car, they said it is unlikely it is differential or CV's based on what they heard and likely that center bearing it rides in. I looked on the forums and couldn't find much, I did find one part # but it was never...

So what you are saying is only the middle joint needs indexing? The only end they should have disconnected when replacing the Torque Converter is the output end on the transmission. I have heard of the center support bearing going? I am assuming this is what the driveshaft sits in, in the...

Those are good points. I probably should take it into a real drivetrain shop and get them to look it over. I definitely notice the noise in the center of the car, its not so much at the rear, you can feel it vibrate through the transmission hump especially in the rear seat. I wonder if they...

Ever since I had my TC replaced, I have noticed a slight vibration in the drivetrain. It occurs especially between the speeds of 40-50 MPH, usually when letting off throttle and RPM's drop but TC is still engaged. It also is making a sort of howling/groaning noise definitely coming from the rear...
