- 2008 Ford Explorer Sport
2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT v6 4.0l 2wrd. A mechanic said that the Carrier Bearing is bad on the drive shaft.and that the drive shaft is not serviceable. The problem is further compounded by the fact that a replacement part from Ford is unavailable at this time with no expected date for it to be available. Some sources indicate that the bearing and bracket is replaceable. From what I have researched the bearing comes friction welded to the shaft and must be cutoff for removal. Are there other feasible options available to address this matter?
