Billet Driveshaft Carrier Bearing KIT for AWD 3000GT / Stealth / GTO
The OEM and Aftermarket Carrier Bearings for the driveshaft are made out of very soft rubber to eliminate all of the noise and vibrations that are coming from the driveshaft. While this is good for unmodified cars that are driven every day, it is not optimal for modified cars. Soft hollow rubber can't hold the driveshaft in place, causing a lot of unnecessary vibrations, clunking sounds, stress on the U-Joints and loss of horsepower. Another minus of the OEM and Aftermarket Carrier Bearings is that the hollow rubber can often sag and cause the driveshaft to rotate out of its optimal centre, putting even more stress on the U-Joints and causing excessive vibrations at higher speeds. This is leading to your driveshaft going out of balance. On top of that the OEM and Aftermarket Carrier Bearings are not rebuildable, you have to buy a brand new one.
Our design eliminates all of this and it is completely rebuildable! It is made out of 6061 T-6 Aluminium anodised in Black, Purple, Red or Blue, depending on your choice! This anodisation will keep the Aluminium safe from atmospheric conditions and the rubber we use will keep your drive shaft centred even when you push it to the maximum.
There are 2 options for the rubber inserts - Street (to keep vibrations and noise to a minimum*) and Race (for maximum performance). Those inserts are easy to change, so if you decide to take both, you will have a Street option for everyday driving and a Race option if you wanna go to the track! The "Street" rubbers are Black and the "Race" rubbers are Red so you can easily distinguish them.
We designed this to work with the OEM spacers which are there for a reason! Other similar kits that are sold as universal, are designed to remove those spacers which will alter the driveshaft angle! This will cause potential problems, such as bad vibrations and premature failure of the driveshaft U-Joints!
This kit includes:
1x Billet Carrier Bearing
1x Rubber Insert Pairs (Based on choice)
4x Rubber Bushings for mounting to the chassis
4x Mounting Washers
2x Spacers
2x Bolts
2x Nuts
The price is for 1 Carrier Bearing Kit! If your driveshaft is the 3-piece OEM, you will need 2 of those.

*It is possible to experience a slight increase in NVH at certain speeds, due to the rubber being solid, however, if your driveshaft is balanced, the increase shouldn't be noticeable.
