Re: Cheap carrier bearing or...?

what does the angle of the shaft look at normal ride height? picture doesn't show it clearly. If the angles are way out of spec, the bearing can only do so much. Is the bearing directional, like angled one way or the other? was the bearing hard to install/align?
I would say the bearing was not the fault but more likely drive line angles caused the failure..

post some good pictures of the angles of the shaft and going through the center support area
