I forgot to get the web address from work, so have to wait till Monday on those parts prices.

I haven't looked up a carrier bearing, since mine was new when I got the car. My Carquest store is a 'really great one', and not because I used to work there either. They will put a lot of effort into trying to find your parts through other sources.

They have been in business for 30 years, and are what we call, a 'real' parts store. You don't hear 'sorry, we don't have that'. You hear 'I don't stock it, but let me see what I can do to get you one'. 'I'll call you back in a few minutes', and they usually get it that day.

Somebody has an after market bearing. There are too many of these cars on the road to not make that part.

Is there a driveline specialty shop in your area?? they have access to 'everything' related to drivelines. Usually in stock, and not overly priced.

In fact, I just remembered that last year I pulled a driveline out of a '87 supra and dropped it off to the local driveline shop and had all the joints and center support bearing changed, and the line balanced, for about $150.
