drive shaft questions In the process of replacing my clutch, I was told that the carrier bearing on my drive shaft was bad. Is this something i could replace myself? It seems like i cant find the part for it anywhere but i sure can find the LT1/LS1 1-piece driveshafts everywhere and was also wondering if I got one of those would it work the same, if not better, than the 2-piece? are they the same length? Thanks in advance

That sounds more like a torque arm mount of course that's using LS car logic so it might be BS in your case

i know when the drive shaft was out, Idiot that was working with me tried, multiple time, to pull the drive shaft apart. It is a 2 piece and from what im to understand, when he tried to pull it apart i think it may have fubar'd the damn thing. My haynes manual calls it a center support bearing. Is there a place that anyone might know of that has replacement bearings or am i doomed to get a new driveshaft? and also, as mentoined before, will an LS1/LT1 drive shaft work on a 3.8?

This site is LS1tech.com so there aren't many people here that could help you with your v6 car but I believe there is a F body specific forum floating around out there somewhere that might be able to help you
