carrier bearing

2006 f250,6.0 52k miles.I have a vibration seams to be at all speeds and feel it in seat not steering.Have it for awhile thought it was tires but still have after new tires.Checking driveline found if I push on shaft at carrier bearing can get movement in ruuber not much but enough to tell it moves.Bearing seams O.K .Should it have any movement?Next option is to have tires force balanced.

I would have the driveshaft serviced and balanced. The carrier bearing won't cause problems because the rubber part is loose. They can be noiseyThey are typically designed to be that way.

The carrier bearing can be a problem--ask me how I know... Cost me @ $150 to have it replaced in a privately owned shop.

There has also been issues with the spline joint between the front and rear driveshaft halves not having enough grease in it causing vibrations as well. If the ride height has changed it too can cause vibration due to misalignment. I had to have my 05 realigned.
