Make sure you final tighten those two carrier bearing bolts with the rear axle loaded. Also, shine a light thru that driveshaft tunnel to inspect & clean the mating surface where the bearing resides.

Happy to report that I got things put back together this morning and all is well. No more mystery noises from the chassis and it runs down the road very nicely.

I was able to easily remove the driveshaft this morning and sure enough the center support was smoked. The bearing was fine but all of the silicone bushing was gone. I don't have the tools to separate the driveshafts and remove the bearing so I will get it off to a driveshaft specialist on Monday. The new bearing I picked up seems to have a smaller ID than the one on the car now so I will have to deal with that too.
Good thing is it did not take long to remove so it should go back easily enough too.

I had a story board made up for the car that we can use at MCACN. We utilized some back in the day pics and tried to get the Cliff Notes version of the story on the board so people can get the gist of its history without reading a novel.....
