ebodell67 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I did a search for this and did not come up with much so my apologies if this is a repeat post or addressed previously. Ok, so I just bought a 2007 Lincoln MKX. Vehicle runs and drives but it has a serious noise from the drivetrain. I finally had some time to get it on ramps and take a look. I found that both the front and rear carrier bearings are completely shot. Has anyone replaced these before. I know that on some Ford products the bearing is not serviceable and you have to replace the entire driveshaft. Is this the case here? I have found a 3-piece driveshaft and the part is rather pricey. I found a replacement 2-piece shaft that states it is an upgrade from the 3-piece. Has anyone replaced their 3-piece with a 2-piece? I also found replacement bearings only but not sure if these can be replaced without cutting the shaft. I don't mind cutting the shaft and rewelding it but I am concerned with getting it balanced. I am not afraid to take on any repair myself but I only paid $200 for this thing so I am not sure what direction to go. It cleaned up very well and is pretty solid so it may be worth it. Currently I could dump it and double my money but I thinking this might make a decent winter beater. Other option is to try and find a driveshaft at the Pick and Pull.
