granted the one i got looked better than this :) all black with red bearing :) and the bearing on the black one (35$)i got spun so much freer than the replacement bearing (just bearing, not like the black/red csb/bearing listed above)i got for 26$ at advance auto

but yeah heres an example of what it should look like

lol mine was the same way. I did a 5 spd swap and in 1 day the csb was gone. Put another 1 in and it took about a week. Then i finally came to the conclusion that the u joints were shot. Swap out my driveshaft and its perfect now.

thanks for the pictorial. i always wondered what 1 of those looked like. where is that part located anyway?

right in the middle of the driveshaft. It is what holds it up.

It was called a "carrier bearing " ,when I replaced one on my pick-up truck a few years back.
