awd: steady bearing around prop shaft

[everbruin]

one of the steady bearings around the prop shaft seems worn out; it doesn't hold the shaft in place and the free play allows my hand to push/wiggle the shaft left/right.

any tips on what shop can fix this, preferably in the seattle/redmond or portland airport areas?

does the prop shaft need to be rebalanced by a special drivetrain shop?

thanks!

I've never owned a AWD myself, but I believe your reffering to the carrier bearing, found in this link.

I should add that i did this 2 years ago and its still holding fine. Otherwise if you want to spend the money, go ahead and just buy the new carrier
