Car makes a clunking sound and shudders when cornering.  
I believe the Differential assembly is in need of replacement or rebuild. The issues is that I work overseas and shipping is expensive. Can anyone tell me the weight of a ford Explore Carrier Assembly? or would it be cheaper to rebuild the Carrier Assembly?

The weight should be also listed by who ever you order the parts from . You just say overseas and that covers a large area. Is there not a repair service where you are ? If so they probably have shipping arrangements with their suppliers. And impossible to guess the repair costs in your unknown location.
