Default why?!?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have a problem... I own a 08 f150 xl. My carrier bearing bushing went out.. Is it true that I'm screwed.. The cheapest i have found a new driveshaft (and yes i know its all one piece) is 725$... I'm 20 just trying to get bye with what i have.. Going throughschool and everything.. If anyone has any other options please help me lol..

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum Grizzly...you can check your local salvage yards ..I believe 04-08 will work for you..or you can take it to a drive line shop and have it re-built with a replaceable U-joint..

Call a driveshaft shop and discuss it with them.

Carrier bearings are replaceable

Listen, i appreciate the replies, but i already have called every junkyard in a100 mile radius and none of them have one and the drive shaft shops want 1000$ to rebuild it with replaceable u joints and carrier bearing... Needless to say, the dealer wants 1100$ for a new one.. I'm just kind of stuck guys.. Best i could find was like i said, online at driveshaft specialists they want 675+50 shipping.. And no the carrier bearing is not serviceable.. It comes with the driveshaft in one assembly.
