It seems to me that putting them on the outside of the bearings would. Nah, this is a crew cab truck with a two piece driveshaft This differential unit comes with threaded adjusters for both carrier bearing

First, make sure the carrier 6215m.c4.j20a bearings are installed correctly, fully seated, and in their correct positions on the differential
They need to be properly oriented and free of any.
I've just been told by the transmission/driveline shop that the problem is the driveshaft angle from the carrier bearing to the diff is too flat Will shimming the carrier bearing down correct this After setting the backlash, add equal amounts of shims to both sides until the correct preload is achieved If the preload is close and the backlash is.
Drain the differential oil and remove the differential from the axle Disassemble the case, labeling components for reassembly If original gears, carrier assembly and housing are used again, use the original thickness of shims (5) if any of these parts are replaced, install a shim pack thickness of 80% of a new full shim pack. If the differential side bearing preload is not within specifications, add or subtract shim thickness equally from each shim pack as necessary in order to increase/decrease the side bearing preload.
This is a video that shows you the process of removing a carrier bearing when it is impossible to remove it with a puller from the drive shaft.
I once had the carrier bearing block on my other truck free floating after a bonehead mechanic forgot to bolt it back into place and it didn't vibrate, the only vibration was from the u joint. I bought the shim kit from truck toyz, and removed the 5/8 shim and put the 1/4 in and improved greatly but may still need some tweaking. Just wondering how much shim to put in my truck I have a driveline vibration and i know there is a technical service bulletin for my 2000 cc, sb
But, i now have a 5 inch block and stock. The only way to get rid of it completely is to install a cv joint after the carrier bearing which is about 600 bucks out here on the left coast If you shim down enough for all of the vibration. On a '03 crew cab short box, after installing a set of the ford 4 blocks in the rear, is it always a necessity to shim the carrier bearing?.
