The guibos look pretty visibly dry and cracked Mike, if you are doing the center carrier bearing I'd do both the guibos too.

Cheapest I've found is here:

Either way its about $260 for all 3 parts, and any hardware to reattach it, but since those guibos take a lot of the vibration out of driving it really should smoothen it out.

If you haven't drained and filled the diffs I'd do it too, you need 3 quarts of 75w-90 gear oil, I think 1.2 in the front and 1.8 in the rear?
