I just came across this bushing product and thought it might somewhat improve what I’m looking for.

I did watch your video and the slop in the carrier bearing was shocking …could you feel it during normal street driving? Also were able to put the heat shield and exhaust shield back on after you installed the one piece? Thanks again
It's hard to say exactly how much of the slop/spring feeling was the rubber couplers vs. the carrier bearing. I can tell you that replacing it all definitely was noticeable. It wasn't huge, but a definite improvement.

I didn't put the heat shield back on. I'm honestly not sure if you could, but I think not given the additional size and straight line from trans to rear end.
