Hello,
I recently purchased a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 144" wb sprinter and have just started noticing a whining noise coming from the transmission about midway back in the driveshaft. I took it to a mechanic that is familiar with Sprinters and he determined that it was a worn out carrier bearing. They had a bit of a hard time locating the right part but ultimately found one that was $366. The mechanic said that it's not imperative that I replace the bearing right away and I decided not to because that seems like a high price.
Can anyone give me a ballpark of how much the bearing should cost. I believe it needs to be for a 2 piece axle and it needs a shim.
Any thoughts on how important it is to get the bearing taken care of?
Cheers,
Ben
