Gosh--thanks for the replies. I took the driveshaft out and inpected it. The bearing has no visible damage and turns freely. The rubber housing is in tact with no cuts/damage. The rear u-joint was tight. I bolted the thing back in and drove it. I noticed at between 7 and 10 mph there is a rapid studdering vibration and then the sound stops. The sound is more prominent and louder if the accelerator is pushed. I also felt the shuttering when I had my arm resting on the center arm rest behind the shift stick. I figure its got to be in the center somewhere. Thanks!!!!!!

Gents--(and any Ladies) Dealer told me I have a bad carrier bearing on my wife's '01 Legacy Outback 3.0 6 cylinder. Dealer said I had to replace the entire driveshaft for $599. Can I not just replace the bearing?? I took the whole driveshaft off but now I'm stumped as to how to fix the problem without buying a new shaft. Any suggestions?
