Then finally without lifting the car sneak under it and tighten the Carrier bolts and the 46mm nut.

Should I try the DS alignment that PlaneCrazy is doing or is the rolling and shaking in place of that?
If I were you I would cross my fingers and hope that the parts are aligned properly after doing the rolling backwards and forwards trick (which by the way should not be attributed to me - I just read about it on this forum and have found that it helps in many cases)

If after doing this trick you still get drive line vibration then I'd start doing the measurements like PlaneCrazy has been doing to see which bits are not at the ideal height.
