Re: Carrier bearing insulator ?

If the drive shaft components are in good shape and the U-joint angles in specification there should be no noticeable vibration.

You may end up causing problems down the road if the rubber allows the carrier to move around under high load conditions.

In today's vehicles with NVH being a priority I've not seen any OE rubber mount the carrier bearing. The rubber bushing in the carrier bearing is supposed to absorb normal vibration.
