Hmm, not sure about that..........are you talking about one of the bearings in the differential?? (some folks call the rear diff the "carrier".....)

It may be cheaper to just buy a used diff and swap it out.... You should have a 3.73LSDiff, they usually sell for ~250-350 used, depending on mileage, etc...

a carrier bearing is inside your differentail, if that needs to be replaced you'd be better off getting a whole new used differentail, honestly, you'd pay more in labor for swapping the bearing than a new diff would cost, if you need one, i have 3 for sale, check the retail classifieds down towards the bottom of the page.
