I already ordered a carrier bearing with mount so i guess ill be trying to grind out and press in a new U-joint also.

I am hoping that takes care of it.

I will post back results (now where was that thread on the ford fair lane U-joint thingy)

When you get the U-joint you need to find out the spacing of the Bearings from the Center of the U-joint. Each company may be different.
I am not entirely certain the info I found after installing the U-joints was correct and I am not sure where I saved the souce of that information to.
