Finally got to put the driveshaft back in. The bad vibes I was getting on the highway are gone, and there is significantly less drive train clunkiness at low speed. Very happy.

Just tossing out ideas here....
What if: we were to make some tool sets...and good instruction set on replacing the carriers yourself, along with renting our tools.... Is that something people are interested in? Or is this asking for lots of driveshafts that have been jacked with incorrectly, leak grease, and are indexed wrong screwing up the balance. Curious what people think...

I thought about finding another driveshaft to send in, they appear to be thin on the ground or cost prohibitive.

Just found your website for the poly carrier bearing. I have a 2006 GTO. Can I install this myself? I already have the driveshaft apart and was about to order the factory bearing. The only thing it looks like I would need to do is remove the rubber ring that remains in the support frame then install the poly bearing.

Yea I'm really liking this idea. One of the downsides is that without a jig to hold parts steady and to verify alignment...its very easy to get the two halves clocked incorrectly.. Which could lead to vibration issues...so we might offer plans to build a quick jig.
We are thinking the job can be done with basic tools such as hammer, flat head screw drivers, lock ring pliers, silicone, and our included tool sets.
