So is the factory carrier not available anymore? What's the deal with this $250 one? My car has 105k on the clock now and the 11 year old carrier bearing is still great as far as I can tell. If/when it ever fails I'd likely just slap another OE one in there. Unless OE isn't available anymore, or OE actually cost more than this aftermarket option.

You clearly didn't read thru this discussion. There is no OEM replacement.

When the original goes out you should look into a one piece, there’s a few used out there for reasonable prices and it definitely wakes up the car. That 2-piece is heavy and there is a noticeable difference in acceleration after the swap.

Awesome find! That's a wonderful new product to have available. This now means people don't have to discard their stock driveshafts and take the risk on a new aftermarket one or have to modify the carrier bearing bushing and mount to stop vibration.
This thread is still very useful for anyone that might want to save the $250 and do it themselves like OX1 successfully did.

Just ordered jxb performance bearing replacement. Will let everyone know when I get it and install it.
