Transmission Mount & Drive Shaft Support Bearing

[nascar24jd]

1993 Firebird 3.4 V6 w/auto Trans

Replaced the transmission mount this morning as it had broken into two pieces. Pretty straight forward job, not too many issues. While I was under the car I found that the drive shaft support bearing is totally shot. The drive shaft is flopping around like crazy.

Looks like it is time for a 1 piece drive shaft. The search is on...

The good news is that the torque arm bushing is in great shape, one less job to do.

There was a ALM. drive shaft in the 4 sale section for $75 might take a look.

Drive shaft installed today. This is my daily driver, and the new transmission mount coupled with the bad drive shaft made the car almost undriveable. The vibration was very violent. I found a steel 1 piece drive shaft for sale locally and grabbed it up. Total install time was 2 hours, taking my time.

Test drive went great. Vibration gone, running good as ever.

So far so good. It's been a week and is driving great.
