Hey everyone, i dont post very often and i do search as much as i can, i would just like a second or many opinions on my carrier bearing insulator. when setting on from a stop in my truck, theres like a clunk feel, except that it doesnt have a noise. so i think my carrier bearing insulator is shot, given that my truck is lifted about 1.5" in the rear, anyway take a look at the picture and let me know what you think!

Do you get vibrations. If not I'd leave it.

there are some vibrations at really high speeds, 80+ mph. my main concern is that it has a very large amount of play in it, probably more than a quarter inch.

It's an easy fix, I did mine a few years ago. It also didn't look too bad until it wasn't under load and you could see the rubber was pooched compared to the new one.

Mine is pooched all over. What brand/part number did you go with? Easy fix as in just remove the drive shaft, bolt off?

Bought a Nissan replacement, the other lasted a long time figured it was good to go on again. Cut off the old carrier bearing, had use of my bud's press and some grease to slide on the new one. Even if you didn't have access to a press, you can come up with something using a jack/wood/vise whatever you can think of

OEM was the route I was thinking of going as well. Thank you for the tips!
