Re: 5000 Q Carrier Bearing

[Larry Mittell <lmittel@ibm.net>]

If you're talking about the center driveshaft support bearing for a 5kcstq,
Blaufergnugen has a replacement for about $160. My mechanic used it
successfully on my '87 and I've now had a few thousand miles of blissfully
quiet motoring.

I believe Chris Semple also has a solution. He's on the sources list at the
homepage.
