I have a 93 Dodge D150 and the carrier bearing keeps pushing out the front of the rubber. i have replaced it 5 times and nobody knows the problem. It?s balanced and straight and never been in an accident.I need help. ---

When you say it’s balanced- what do you mean? You took the driveshaft out and had it balanced? I would address the basics- remove shaft and check u-joints for wear and tightness, check all drivetrain mounts for motion, and then have the shaft professionally balanced. If all those things check out then we’ll go from there. ---

and, the slip yoke. if it’s binding it won’t slip but as your suspension moves up and down the drive shaft will move a bit too. the slip youke is supposed to allow for this movement, if it’s not slipping…
