carrier bearings

[killer_eclipse]

so i was wondering if this has been tried be for? i have a spare drive shaft laying around for my drag project and I'm in the middle of welding my motor mounts and thought about triing it on my carrier bearings so i thought i would give it a shot on my spare. I know there would be vibration but other then that does anybody see a problem with this?

Giving what a shot?! You didn't even say what your going to try to do...

sorry my computer screwed up and only posted part of what i was trying to ask... and this is the first time i have been able to get it to work sense. anyways i was talking about welding my carrier bearings solid like you would do with motor mounts.

Why would you want to weld the CB's?

And...you're AWD. I wouldn't weld the motor mounts either. Prothane inserts would be plenty stiff.

Prepare for every bolt to vibrate loose if you do that. They have rubber around them for a reason.

first of i am not worried about vibration it is a drag car. second ther has been many people that have welded there motor mounts and had great success with improved 60 times and better shifting. the reson that i am thinking of welding my carrier bearings is because i have a spare drive shaft that has completly blown out CB's and was seeing if anybody else has tried this befor and if anybody see's a problem with it.... Again this is not a daily driver it is a project drag car.
