Oops

i went down this morning to grease all the trucks fitting. I was looking at the drive shafts center bearing. It supports the driveshaft. The manual says it sealed. It's not sealed on mine. I noticed a grease fitting so I greased it. It took a lot of grease before any came out. Should I just go ahead and replace it. 105k without greasing and the rest of the drive line is every 6500 miles.

Replace it, it is a lot cheaper than getting it towed when it breaks down.

Its called the carrier bearing. They rarely just go out. you'll feel a slight shake once its worn out. I think the last one I did was 30 bucks. You'll need a shop to press the bearing into the carrier, but you may have something different than mine.

Replace it on your terms not when you're broke down and forced to.
