ABSTRACT:
A carrier bearing assembly is provided which is used with vehicles having two separate drive shaft sections. The carrier bearing assembly supports and interconnects the two drive shaft sections. The carrier bearing assembly includes a housing comprising two separate casings which are mounted about an outer race. Ball bearings are disposed between the outer race and an inner race. A pair of sleeve members and a pair of seal members are also provided, with one sleeve member and one seal member located on each side of the ball bearings. The sleeve members, together with the drive shaft sections, are rotatable relative to the first and second casings. One of the two casings includes a port formed therein and a grease fitting is inserted into the port. A lubricant is provided through the grease fitting into the housing formed by the two casings. The lubricant acts to increase the life of the carrier bearing assembly thereby virtually eliminating replacement of the carrier bearing assembly.
