scraping and clunking

[kelner]

when I engine brake or drive the car in reverse I get a scrapping noise that sounds like it's coming directly from under the middle console. My guess is on play in the drive shaft or some drive shaft component. Can anyone help me pinpoint it?

Check the driveshaft center bearing 1st...I hope that's it, the alternative is not likely to be good

I agree, Mine did the clunk, scrape sound and my carrier bearing was toast. Dropped the whole shaft and my U joints were toasted.Long story short i needed a new d/s address the issue ASAP before it cost you big money like me.

Does you car vibrate more than usual at highway speed?Thats a good indication unfortunate for me i didnt catch it early enough.Good luck.

No vibration on the highway. I guess I'll get it looked at this weekend. What's a carrier bearing run money wise? Easy job? I've had the d/s down in my engine swap, it was pretty easy to get out of there.

The local shop i went to quoted me around 250

you can get the autozone bearing and modify it to fit. Many have done it. I think it is around $75.

Mine makes a scraping noise occasionaly, and the clunking is play in the differential, just about every Supra I have ridden in makes that clunk sound....I assumed the scraping was because my trans is way worn out.

I have no weird vibrations at highway speeds either.
