Starwolf Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah i know its not a flatbody but i really didnt know where else to post this. And i think my 83 challenger is more like a flatbody conquest than much else. Well my dad obviously thinks the vibration from the car is coming from the drive shaft soo....we decide to pull it. (BS eliminated) welllll he said the bearings are out and we went to a few parts stores and they had the drive shaft bearings (im retarded and dont know the names) for $22 a piece. The middle section had a rubber area and the part number for a 88 Dodge Ram 50 is HB30 but i dont know what you call the thing? (another bearing) I will get more info soon and post a picture...just curious ify ou guys know other vehicles with a similar drive shaft? my 89 conquest is all in one piece and isnt as long as the challengers...maybe the flat bodies are more like mine?

Starwolf Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-87-DOD...emZ190249862597 that is a picture for the dodge ram 50 mine is just not center and the rubber is pretty tore up My dad thought maybe we could fill it with silicone or something? That picture will do as good as any...i just dont want to pay 70+ for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwolf Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 ah so i should expect to pay about 120 for the smaller ones and that one jeez any chance we could go the whole silicone in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwolf Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) damn... well how bad could this small vibration be? "i" think its been there since we rebuilt the motor dad didnt notice and thats been a year or longer? maybe we will just put it back the way it is and hope for the best? *edit i should say the bearing part of that carrier is FINE its just the rubber is ugly and torn the other bearings will be replaced for sure Edited September 23, 2008 by Starwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwolf Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hmm well i just figure i could get the carrier bearing cheaper if its for a more popular vehicle like a mighty max or something. We are going to call around and see what people say...i hope to try and get one for more around $40 if thats possible at all $70 for a little piece of rubber...sheesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
