I have a 95 awd. Is the axle carrier bearing bracket on a 95 awd different then on a 98 awd? I have a 98 carrier bearing bracket and the holes don't line up at all. Not only that but the hole closer to the wheel is about 1" away from the block!! Is there supposed to be a spacer somewhere? The A/C is still there. I also have a 95 bracket and it is alot closer but still doesn't line up right. I had to oval out one of the holes a little just to get one bolt in. What the F**K is going on here? The car used to be a auto and now it's a 5-speed. What am I missing here? Pease help me! My entire suspension is torn apart!!

Thanks for any help

 

the 98 one that I have is from a 5-speed and the bracket looks completly different but the haft shaft looks the same to me. Here is a pic of them. The top one is from a 98 and the bottom is what came out of my car.
The bottom one doesn't even fit right.
