Good looking nav you have there mate. Pretty much a white copy of mine :)

Well I seem to be having all sorts of problems with this bloody ute, now im getting massive vibration directly under my vehicle but only when I engage the clutch. Looking at a video of under my car im not getting anywhere near the bearing movement I used to but the gearbox itself is vibrating...

Here is the comparison. Notice the ring of rubber on the new one around the bearing is much thicker.

Alright well I replaced the existing bearing with one I sourced from Hardy Spicer. I havent taken a video to see a visual comparison but using my calibrated ear it is not making the same noises that the last one did. When I compared the new vs old it became clear that there would likely be a...

Do you mean your uni joints are out of phase? Like this? Because I have already checked that and it is not the problem. Thanks for the update though, I still havent bothered to replace my centre bearing but the rubber isn ow stuffed on my new so ill have to get one very soon :S

I have them on my D22 have had them for a year and done maybe 20k, they havent had alot of wear but they scrub like crazy so have a bit of damage from being cut up by my steel guards. Otherwise they are great on the road, only a little more road noise than the AT's that were on it when I bought...

Mackay Rubber, an australian company make a lot of aftermarket engine and trasnmission mounts and arent too expensive. You can get them from super cheap auto or bursons auto

I am going to see if the replacement gearbox Mount helps at all. Then I'll give it a crack

I spoke to CBC and they resell hardy spicer bearings at 150 a piece so I gave them a call and they are around 90 bucks direct. Talk about mark up. Anyway Im not convinced that $140 bucks is the lower limit forthese things but I trust hardy spicer to give me something of a reasonable quality.

Will give them a try tomorrow, they sound the goods. If its between a genuine and the "others" I might give it a crack.

Thats odd, I rang Burson, super cheap and Nissan and got the following prices which are all below the $140 you got quoted. $105.45 Bursons sourced from Bearing Wholsesalers part #CB-05 ~$70 Super cheap sourced from Bearing Wholesalers presumably the same part # $371 Nissan genuine, japan...

Yeah alright well let me know how you go :) I cant remember what Nissan were charging but I remember it being expensive

And here is the diff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cn3e3AJ8LM&feature=youtu.be there is massive amounts of movement upwards. Im tempted to put in some shims to angle the diff downwards and reduce the amount of upwards movement. I also have a replacement transmission mount in the hope that...

Yeah that is why I dont think its out of balance(apart from the fatc I have had it balanced), there is just enough movement under load that the shaft hits my long range tank which sits lower than normal(I think) and then vibrates. I was driving it pretty hard in that video though. The bearing...

In my particular instance phasing is not an issue, the front and back flanges of the second half are in phase. I have had the two piece shaft off and balanced by a proper drive shaft balancing company. I dont believe the issue is there...
