This might sound odd but my 1984 toyota pick up 4x4 has no carrier bearing. i see where the carrier bearing would go but not sure if it had one originally. when i first got my truck two years ago it was on a body lift. so im not sure if it had an actual suspension lift. later i went on and removed the body lift and installed 3 inch lift leaf springs. if anyone knows if it should have one let me know. or is it because of the new angle that the drive shaft is positioned that the carrier bearing doesnt fit anymore.
