Default Drive shaft carrier bearing, or entire drive shaft?

After doing some investigating, i believe it is my Drive shaft carrier bearing that is causing a squealing noise while driving. This seems to be a common problem from what I read.

I'm hoping just the bearing needs replaced, but i have seen that some people have to replace the whole drive shaft. How much does a dealership charge for this and where would I be able to find a cheaper bearing or drive shaft assembly online?

Does anyone know where to find one of these other than a dealership?

Thanks

Try some triflow first and don't be shy with it.

Big previous post on this issue. Try a search...it should be easy to find.

With that said, the bottom line is the carrier bearing sucks and will start to squeal. Flood it with Seafoam Deep Creep and done. I do this every oil change and the noise has gone and never come back.
