Centre Bearing Replacement

[Max Taranto]

Hey, Ive installed a new centre bearing on my 2000 model 2.7ltr Hilux. I replaced it due to a shuttering feeling coming from the drive shaft. After I replaced it I could smell the rubber burning and the shutter came back. Looked at the bearing and it has way too much play in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Check if there is a Front Arrow and the centre bearing is actually running in a straight Plane, what are the uni's like,

For you to experience Shuddering, its pointing to a Flogged out Uni. Don't know about the smell of burning rubber, if you greased the uni,s might be just grease on the exhaust.

Put it in gear 1st, hand brake off and get someone to rock the vehicle back and forth and get under it and visually look and feel each and every uni and also the slip joint near the centre bearing for excessive play
