I replaced the carrier bearing but I still have a vibration. How can I tell if I got it lined up properly.

if you didnt mark it properly before taking it apart, you wont. i got one of these from another shop and no matter how many times i had it balanced it still vibrated. my suggestion is do what i did and buy a used driveshaft from a salvage yard. hope this helps
