Billet 6061 Carrier bearing fixture for equal length drive shaft

[CSXT802]

Everyone has talked about the NS1 carrier bearing for the factory equal length set up. The one on my CSX-T is failing. While I do have a good spare shaft with bearing. I wanted to make something better,that would help the people in the community who want to save their equal length setup. After months of waiting. I got the call from the machine shop telling me my fixtures were ready. I wanted a fixture that can be removed for easy bearing replacement. My machine shop needs a minium order of 40 units for them to tool up and make more. So if the intrest is there I'll try to get a group together. If not I guess this project dies here. I don't mean to sound cold but I have laid out alot of my own money. On the chance there will be enough intrest to recoup it. On that note here are some pics.

[DodgeZ]

What is the price if you get 40 units?

[CSXT802]

What is the price if you get 40 units?

$90 for the fixture with bearing.

[Xtrempickup]

Beautiful piece Darren. I'l be in for at least 1 probably 2 or 3 so I can make everything equal length. I wonder if it will fit thet tc's equal length set up, I don't see why not.

I would honestly say though, your not going to get 40, I'd guess maybe 10, 15 at the most.

[cordes]

That is really neat. Something like that may be worth it to some of use who run unequal length setups just for the fact that we wouldn't need two axles in the trunk any longer.

[CSXT802]

Well If I can get close the 40 I'll go ahead. But if I can't get close this is a dead issue and I'll cut my losses. Unless one our vendors find an intrest in these. One will be in my car for sure. :thumb:

The owner of the shop to said he needs 40 unit minium to tool up. So thats what I'm shooting for. If I fall short, I can ask him he would be willing to.

Can I get mine in red? JK;)

I'll take 10 please.

[89ShelbyGuy]

Is that bearing thats on the shaft pressed on which is why you needed to have a slot on the new peice you tighten around the bearing?

Also, the bearing, i wouldn't need it....well, not that i wouldn't need it, i have a great account set up with a vendor in my area who gives me good deal on bearings as i order alot from them....is it possible to get the fixture only??

Maybe more people would get them, i assume the bearing cost 40 bucks?

let me know, maybe i can help you out with the cost of the bearings...what is the bearing number?

Tom S

Tom, If you want to source your own bearing thats fine, but they arn't the big dollar item. Thats why I went ahead with this. The factory bearing is an odd ball. The one in the fixture is common and inexpensive. The bearing is a press fit on the shaft just like the factory bearing. The clamping fixture lets you remove it for easy bearing replacement ie: bearing puller.

[fuzz's84Daytona]

You let me borrow it for afew days and I can probably beat the price your getting them made for. It's a simple 3 set-up job and would only take about 10-15 min. to make it if you want to get them at a better price. Just an offer, otherwise it's a nice looking part and is he using a heli-coil on the threaded hole?

[CSXT802]

List updated. 26 units.

I would think "Top Fuel" Bender could work out a deal, more so if you don't get the numbers. He is also a T-M vendor that cares about our small car world.

Is there a price change? do you still need to get 40? when do you want payment?

The price is the same @ $90, but now it covers the shipping. I'm still doing a 40 unit order. I'm sure I'll have no problem selling the rest of them. Also by going through Bruce It keeps this whole project within the community. I'm sure he would be willing to do smaller batches of the fixture if more people want them. So for $90 shipped you'll get the fixture, bearing , and hardware.

[looneytuner]

THAT is a great price. I think the original was over twice that. The bearing I found to press in the oem setup was $36 and a hassle to press in.

Chris, I have your bar as well in one of the TC's, it's getting kinda 'clunky' when I shake the rear from side to side. Feels like a wheel bearing that's loose but they are not. Ideas?

Sorry 802, back to carrier bearing talk. I have the passenger axle out of the Rampage right now to replace the starter motor (stinkin L bodies!:o) Wish I had the new carrier and bearing to put back in:thumb:

[csracer]

Alan,

check the rod ends , they may have started loosening up and might need to be replaced. the bronze bushing can be pressed out and reused in a new set. If the rod ends are not worn you can try loosening the jam nuts and twisting the bar slightly to preload it.

As far as vibration goes, I doubt we will notice more. Alum. generally abosorbs more vibration than steel. This is most noticed when replacing a steel drivshaft with an Alum. one. People normally report less drivetrain vibration after the swap.

I take your race description to mean that a GMC Syclone and you went for a little spirited freeway pull. He jumped out 25+ car lengths on you and gave up at 100, then you pulled a ricer flyby at 120:confused: Not saying a turbo Mini can't be made faster than a Syclone but the van you just bought from Johnny is stock right? No how, no way gonna keep up with a Syclone.:D

Not true. It is the opposite. Aluminum is stiffer so the drive shaft deflects less and there is less vibration. Ride an aluminum mountain bike and then hop on a chromoly one. The aluminum one will jar your teeth out.

[black86glhs]

Correct. you have to change mounting brackets.


not drilled for both but will work on L-bodies if using any non-body bracket that bolts to the blockOk guys, thanks. I thought I read it was setup for the bigger cars bracket. :)

There only a few people left from the list that have not paid. You know who you are. There are a couple fixtures left for the group buy price.:nod:

[turbojerk]

After doing some consideration of using one of these on my car I came to realize that this *WILL NOT* work on an L-body. If so I'd like to know how because the L-body intermediate shaft is shorter than a G/P/K-body and since that's the case the G/P/K bracket will not work nor will the L- body since it's totally different....

Someone prove me wrong,.... please!

If so I'd like to know how because the L-body intermediate shaft is shorter than a G/P/K-body and since that's the case the G/P/K bracket will not work nor will the L- body since it's totally different....

Someone prove me wrong,.... please!

I think your right :confused2:

[CSXT802]

Thanks - Cindy

I have a topic in the transmission section over @ TD . I let them know you have these in stock and ready to ship. Feel free to add to that topic. I'll be sending people your way.

Just FYI,

I have confirmed that these WILL NOT work on L-body.

What if your using an 555/568 in an L-body. I know they use the small spline 525 stock and that carrier is different. I'm just asking because I've never owned an L-body. I did have an 1986 Turbo Z that had a 525 in it and that used the L-body style carrier. I swaped over to this style carrier when I put a 555 in it. This was years ago.

[bakes]

Got mine today:)
thank you

Your welcome.

I think people will have to start taking pictures of their set ups ,to clear the air here.

Is this the big car bracket?

[CSXT802]

Is this the big car bracket?

That would be the L-body/early style carrier.

[black86glhs]

That would be the L-body/early style carrier.Ok, that verifies things. That is an L-body shaft with the A-555 output. I obviously have the A-555 trans in my car.
I take it that the big car bracket won't bolt up to my setup. If so, it is not a big deal. I can modify the bearing setup to work with the L-body bracket:thumb:.

[yogurt_slinger]

Got mine today! They look great, they are SCREAMING *POLISH ME*.:nod:

Thanks alot!

[moparman76_69]

I still want to pick this up but if you have people chomping at the bit for one then let them have it, I ended up paying taxes instead of getting a refund so I won't have the cash for a bit.

As long as you still want it. Than I have no problem waiting for you to get the funds.:thumb:

[janus]

excuse my ignorance, this sure looks like a nice part, but i have no exact prospect of how this thing would fail? or were you talking about the bearing itself in your first post, if you care to explain?

I've been in contact with the above people. All are committed to buying. So thats it for this group buy all units are sold. Thanks to everyone for making this happen. For anyone else who wants one. Please contact Cindy at FWD performance. She has these in stock and ready to ship.:thumb:

[GLHSKEN]

Thanks for the great product!

[CSXT802]

Anyone other than my self install one yet.?

[4cefedomni]

I havn't had a chance to install any of mine yet. One is for my brothers shadow and the other 2 were for my omnis. So I'm not sure what I'm gonna do quite yet, I might try and use the jack shaft from a shadow in my omnis if i can't get them to work with the omni shafts.

[CSXT802]

List on the first page has been updated. To all involved THANK YOU.!!! Please fell free to add to this topic, as you do your installs. :thumb:

[CSXT802]

There are a bunch of these out there. Any feed back, how was the install.? The one on csx-t 802 is doing well with almost 1,000 miles on it.

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Your kidding right, nobody's going to actually install it till an axle breaks :lol:

[turbovanman²]

I am waiting until my current bearing goes bad, lol.

[2.216VTurbo]

I sold one of mine to a buddy that snapped his I shaft on a hard launch. He has one sweet GLHt with all the good parts. Sadly, he doesn't get on here much:(

[CSXT802]

Back from the dead. Any installs yet.? I even sent one with Bruce to give away at SDAC 20.

[turbojerk]

I've got mine installed. LOVE IT!

Auto-X'd and drag raced with it and all is well.

[CSXT802]

Thats great to hear. I don't rember you from the group buy. Did you get yours from FWD, or were you the SDAC winner.

I just did the install of Xtrempickup's bearing fixture. After spending the weekend doing a motor swap on his R/T.

[turbojerk]

Nope, got mine 2nd hand.

[CSXT802]

As long as it's working good for you thats all that matters. Is it in an L- Body.?

[turbojerk]

Yup, but I had to change my whole axle set up do use it.

[CSXT802]

Yup, but I had to change my whole axle set up do use it.
I rember talking with Bruce. He helped figure out what parts to use to get it done.?

[turbojerk]

Yup...

[black86glhs]

I now have a big car bracket that I can use in mine if I decide to go back to that setup.:thumb:

[Xtrempickup]

i cant wait to up my boost some and align my car to see what the equal length set up does with new carrier and new motor

[cobra2411]

Don't need one but I saw it at Carlisle and man did I want one... :D

It's just beautiful...

[CSXT802]

Thanks for the complement. Bruce and his brother in law did a great job on the machine work.

Amen to that!:thumb:

Wow, good work. I haven't checked in on this thread in a while. I'm happy to see that the carrier did it's job. :clap: To bad everything thing else around it turned to $hit. Thanks to your testing there is no doubt about the durability of the carrier.:D
