I was on the Interstate it was raining and a RAM pickup is entering from the on ramp he merged in front of me and then the parts started flying.

Sounds as bad as losing the engine to transmission drive shaft on some Deere's . 7000 series and some sprayers it takes out the front window.

Makes a mess in a hurry. You see a lot of short driveshafts laying on the hiway. From in between tandem driving axle. Usually with one yoke still attached.

I took a grinder and ground the heads off.  Son laid under there with a sprayer with water and kept things wet and I would grind alittle off and let set to cool down good. Took awhile to do but worked.

Seen a few trucks come in on the hook that made it very clear their hanger bearing was out. They needed a bunch of air lines, wires, new driveshafts, and some fuel tank repair too.

I wouldnt change it... not unless like Lorenzo said its vibrating or you can feel play. Especially in a ol farm dump truck. Now if it was my pickup I rely on everyday and take on long trips hauling, I might waste some money.

I replaced one twice on a F250, you could hear it roar when coasting, got a crappy bearing and had to replace it again in 10,000 km.

Fixed bad water pump Saturday . Used blue highways to get it home, didn’t want to trust it on I 90 . Wanted to use it on i90 for 45 miles one way to haul wood ,wood chips and leaves to farm from my place.

I brought  it here to the house to fix to be road worthy.  I was up to 55 to 60 with it on blue highway. But I could not  stand it, the noise from the 460 without a muffler was to much. I got the muffler fixed . The hydraulic s hose replaced .

Thought ,I thought the removal of the bolts that secure the bearing to frame would be pretty easy . Shot pd blaster on them . Got the impact wrench on the right side ,it rounded off. Tried the left side and bolt just rotating the half clip nut. Ugh ?

Working on the farm dump truck. ( 1989 F350) I’ve never had a carrier bearing on a drive shaft before . So I was under there putting on the new hydraulic hose and noticed the bearing looking up . Hum ! Little bit of red fret dust buy shaft. I’m not seeing it shake around ,. The strap is rusted through in a spot on the bottom .  Look ? ing at end of life even if it not failed .  Should I change it out ?‍♂️?

I had one go. What I think happened is the bearing seized then ripped the rubber support up. I had heard some squeaking at one point and that must have been the bearing going. Anyway, the whole mess was rattling around in the steel carrier. Bearing would barely turn when I took it apart.

they usually start sqeaking or making other noises by the way that one looks if you use it alot I'd replace it just for fun
