Re: Driveshaft support bearing conversion
The original light duty carrier has a really soft rubber that is thin and allows for some fore and aft movement during suspension travel. Trailing arm trucks and large gm cars came with these carrier setups.
Anything stiffer will tear itself up when the suspension moves.
Every truck with a horseshoe shaped carrier bearing has a slip in the rear shaft from the factory. From an s-10 to a kenworth. When the slip and stub lock up the carriers don't last a day.
