Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a clunking sound under my 2004 f150 4x4. pulled off the road and found out that the center support bearing on my drive shaft had worn out. luckily i found out before getting on the highway for a long trip or the shaft would have eventually eaten through and caused major harm to the truck and possibly ourselves and any others involved from an accident. i cannot find any parts to replace the center support bearing (csb). all after market parts suppliers cannot find a replacement part that is even made. the ford dealership wants to sell me the entire drive shaft for $700 when the csb is only a $20-30 part - if ford would supply/make the part. this is not the first part i have had a very difficult time finding for this truck! *tr
