My 97 CCLB 4x4 has a driveline vibration. Rear u joint is bad, going to replace it. I also noticed my carrier bearing has a shim, probably 1/8th inch. Truck is stock height/suspension. Having not worked on many obs trucks, im wondering if some idiot field hand where i bought the truck from did this. It does not look factory.

If the truck had a lift at some point then shims may have been added. But when lift was removed, those weren't.

I'd pull it.

I cannot see this truck ever having a lift, but anything is possible. I considered removing it when i had the engine out, but decided to leave it. Guess I'll pull it out.
