Looking for some advice and direction....
Last year I replaced all the rear suspension bushings with the IPD Polyurethane kit!! and new shocks!!!! on my 240 1993 Wagon.

However even before I fitted it when the car had an average load in it (two
people) in the rear or a small 2000Lb trailer hooked up to it with "some" load in it the rear makes a noise that sounds like something is grinding in the rear - its not a major grinding noise but its not comforting driving with it happening.

I think the weight is changing the angle of the prop shaft when the car is loaded!

I’m wondering if its the Carrier bearing rubber has collapsed broke and needs replacing or if its the prop shaft universal joints. Neither have been repaired/replaced during my ownership of 15 years.

I was wondering about replacing the Carrier rubber / bearing and Universal joints if it is this all at the same time.... any advice on the repair which parts are better and which size bearing it would be on a 1993 - as I see that there is 1.75" and 2" bearings and is it likely to be the Carrier Rubber/bearing or UJ's

Looking at the videos it looks like the bearing is a pig to get off and on!
