My personal experience in muti drive shaft applications that I have had when replacing a worn carrier is that making sure the drive line is perfectly balanced ,or you will experience premature carrier wear , the only way to achieve this is to have the entire drive line balanced with the new parts by a shop that has the rite eqiument to balance the entire drive line.

most people make the mistake in when replacing the carrier not marking up the multi driveline when dismantleing , throwing the drive line out of balance when reinstalling .

driveline components do wear ,and overtime because they are multi shafts and in many cases balancing can never be achieved . I found out this from my driveline specialist ,sometimes it pays to just replace it all from end to end, in the end its worth the money and agravation to leave it to the professionals .
