Driveline Carrier question

So i replaced the carrier and bearing as mine was stock and i was worried that its time had been served. im now thinking about something that i need confirmation on? there is a lot of potential adjustment to the mount side to side, do we need to be aligning this mount or just bolt it where it seems middle, any science or perfection needed? I don't want to create uneeded vibrations with mis-aligning. thanks again.

Re: Driveline Carrier question

I've always sighted mine as straight as possible. A string line can be used if you don't trust your eye. I figure, no reason not to get it straight.

Last one I did, I got the mount bolts semi-snug, then tapped it straight with a hammer.

I'm kinda like duct tape- no real purpose, but handy to have around.
