The carrier bearing is located in the center of a two piece drive shaft. It holds up the center of the drive shaft. The drive shaft extends from the rear of the transmision to the rear drive axle (differental). The two piece drive shaft and the carrier are needed when there is a large angle between the transmission and the differental. The carrier bearing keeps the drive shaft up high under the vehicle.

It could have a carrier bearing but its pretty rare. I have a 96 firebird and it definitely has a split driveshaft. It is so rare that when my carrier bearing went bad, none of the part stores could even get a parts number to order one. So the car still sits. You will have to look at your driveshaft. If it's solid front to back it does not have a carrier bearing. If it looks like 2 shorter driveshafts that meet in the center of the car, then yes it would have a carrier bearing.

The rear section of the driveshaft has a slip yoke in it. This allows the rear section of the driveshaft to change length as the rear axle moves up and down. If this slip yoke binds, the change in length is absorbed by the slip yoke at the back of the transmission. Because the carrier bearing itself is fixed to the driveshaft, and the hanger that holds the bearing is fixed to the frame or cross member, when the rear slip yoke binds, it moves the entire driveshaft forward taking the carrier bearing with it, and pushing it out of the rubber in the hanger.
