D22 rear tailshaft/centre bearing issues
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2012 1:15 pm
Hi everyone
I bought a D22 3.2 D navara a few weeks ago, it had a collapsed
Centre bearing when I bought it which I thought was no major issue. What was unusual
Was the previous owner said he replaced it a few months ago.
So after I bought the car I replaced it too and after a week it collapsed again.
The problem seems to be that because the car has had a spring lift, the distance from the centre bearing
To the rear diff has increased and when bolted up it really pulls the bearing about 1/2 backwards toward the diff.
Has anybody else had similar issues?
It's possible that the bearing was installed back to front. I'm not sure which way it goes
I just put it back how it was.
(the curved face points rear and the recessed face points forward)
Could anybody please confirm this is right?
Or else maybe I need a tailshaft spacer?
Thanks, any help greatly appreciated!
