Re: Billet or OEM style carrier bearing??

Either mount will get the job done if installed properly.
I really appreciate your response, I had totally decided to go with the billet one. I never gave thought to it not absorbing the suspension travel. I did buy both. I gotta really think on this one. Thanks again.
