so far, i have got some great advice from amx1397 about critical details that if you dont know, may get you into trouble.
1- if your bearing is good then just slip the support over your bearing.
2- look at how it looks before u take it apart.
3-you do not have to remove the entire shaft; just the rear 1/2.
4- just get the arrows correct when replacing.
5-to get the drive shaft out, remove all the bolts at the rear end.
6-drop the support bearing. u need that removed from the car to have flex to drop the driveshaft from the rear end.
( U DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE COMPLETE DRIVE SHAFT.)

eventually after removing the muffler, i was able to replace the piece and now there is no more noise or vibration.
seems that this is 1 of the things that wear out and has to be replaced when noise and/or vibration hits.
the car has being well kept in appearance but didnt do much regarding maintenance, and has about 110,000 kilometers (some 60,000 miles).

I'm dealing with this currently thanks for the information mine is bad at 45k miles seems to be a common problem.
Sorry, but not all the crossfires produced, I haven't seen many posts but a small number of them vs produced? Seems to be only a common problem with the particular cars it effects? Good luck with your issue!

I do not think you can make a statement like that, just because yours has the problem it does not mean a lot of others have had the same problem, who knows how your car was treated before you purchased it.
You have been here since July, but you are saying unfounded assumptions.
Maybe you purchased a lemon.

Sorry Dave, but here in the states a 'lemon' is classified as a new car with many or unfixable problem (after) a reasonable time for a dealer to fix it (usually three visits for the same issue in a short period of time). A 'lemon law' enacted usually involves states rules unless a documented multi-state history can be documented with inclusion of other state's agencies (which would involve federal fraud or lemon laws). Many of those laws are now partially circumvented by the contract signed that requires a third party mediation as specified in that contract.
If interested... ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_law ), All states don't recognize a used car as a candidate for a 'lemon' law. Usually, a used car is encompassed within the contract for sale. In the exception, a verbal or 'fitness' statement, or advertisement, is possible cause to reverse a sale.

Many of us have referred to problem cars as lemons for many, many years, hence the genesis for naming it "Lemon Law". Personally, I always thought they should call it "Lemon Aid"...

I see some people as lemons too as they leave me bitter.🍋
The world does not revolve around what words the US uses in the vernacular, so I am using it our way.
Cite Wiki all you like but you are going down a well trodden path used by a certain member here.
I was just going off of what needswings.com was saying. never said all cars... but seems pretty common when there selling 10+ of these carrier bearing a week
Hello everyone , today I got the part that needs to be changed. 2 separate services did not say anything clear about how to insert it. the shaft assembly will be disassembled or they do not know exactly whether it is possible to disassemble separately. and that's why they don't tell you the labor cost clearly. I would appreciate it if you write down the procedures and tips for installing this piece. I would like to go to the service, having studied my lesson. Otherwise, there may be a surprise labor price.
Thank you
