Sounds like your center carrier bearing needs to be replaced. They are a little pricey, always a good idea to look into a 1 piece driveshaft.

Yep, carrier bearing bit it. It's an expensive part, and will only fail again with time. You should definitely swap to a one piece shaft.

Call David at Shaftmasters. Tell him Aaron at NICOclub told you to come see him. He does a site discount.
