Re: Carrier Bearing ?

sorry. It doesn't matter how thhe tranny yoke is in the trans or the rear joint in the pinion yoke. It matters how the actual piecces of the driveshaft are assembled. Just starting from the front on a ccomplete rebuild things that will kill the ballance.. Rotate the trans yoke 180*. I think theirs 5 poitions you can rotate the bolt on yoke. Rotate the rear shaft 180 to the front shaft, flip rear shaft from pinion to bolt on yoke (back to front). It's easy to do. This is assuming that you notice any parts that are ecessivly worn, the carrier bearing and yoke shouldn't just slide off, and ujoint caps shouldn't spin in the yokes.
I see professional MECHANICS Mess this up every week an I hear stories about how peoples carrier bearings don't last 6 months so they go buy a $100 billet poly bearing to mask most of the real problem.
