Carrier bearing?

So I have been getting a vibration when driving mostly at steady speeds 65 - 70 mph and havent been able to dial in my ears to tell where it is. Took out hubs still vibrating jacked up rearend and putter in drive and its pretty bad looks like driveshaft is out of balance or could the carrier bearing cause this? O yeah vibration is more of a vibration noise except on take off and slow down. Any ideas?

Thanks

I had a vibration/rumbling noise around 70 but it would go away at 75. It ended up being a bad u joint and the carrier. The rubber isolator had deteriorated on mine, so I just replaced the whole thing. Dealer charged $35 to press the old one off and new one on. I didn't have a big enough press. I just took my intermediate driveshaft in.

If you have to replace the carrier make sure that you mark the drive shaft so that you don't have vibration due to misalignment.
