    Does the big half of the carrier bearing with the single hole go up or down. Had a driveline installed recently on my 06 and the two slots are facing down. Just looking for correct orientation as it can go both ways

    Mine has the single hole down!
    My frame was also replaced about a year ago.
    Guy that did it did an amazing job.
    So I’m pretty sure mine was done right?

    I was getting shuttering when I first started off. A former post suggested to flip the carrier bearing 180* which I did and the shutter stopped for now. I know I am on borrowed time but it doesn't appear that it makes a bunch of difference. The holes may be for water drainage.
