Looks like they're on the body side to me.

Those washers in the pics are the thin ones that are permanently attached to the bolts. The two thick spacers aren't in any of my pics. I did have them, but they're in my parts bin now.
I might try to get a better final pic, I took that one with my cell phone with the car on the ground. If I remember next time it's on the lift I'll get one with an actual camera.
It's funny that the TSRM doesn't mention the spacers or show them clearly anywhere. If you look closely there's one floating midair above the shaft in the first picture in the section. They're clearly in the parts system diagram though.
Yes. That's how they go on the factory part. As this support bearing isn't in the same exact spot, he removed them so it moved the shaft back up to where it's supposed to be.
okay, that's what I was asking.. thank you for clearing that up.
then again, I don't have these spacers you all are alluding to.. I wonder what that means, as I have never had them.
nor are they pictured in the TSRM with the driveshaft style I have: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=PR&P=3

Damn I wished I would have saw this before I spent the big bucks on a 1-piece but now I don't never have to worry about it. I tried other carrier bearing and they didn't work as I got a grinding noise when I would try to drive it. So I just bought a 1 piece. Lighter and less rolling mass now. I like it. Good luck with the test drive as I know a lot of folks on here are waiting for that LOL

$45? I went to Napa yesterday and at the store they were looking at $84!

Sheesh. $84? Really? Have you priced the part at Toyota? Anything less than $100 is a deal in my opinion. I definitely could have/would have used the extra $180 that I paid for mine on something else. I think this is such a great find that it belongs in the some sort of MKIII DIY tech sticky.

Good work destrux!
I had to laugh when I had the E46 M3 and saw that the OEM carrier bearing was only $3x.xx from BMW. Given the prices for other parts for that car it was rather amusing that it was so cheap compared to the Supra one.

Well, see, I did not know that. But - I'm not reading about crazy high occurrences of driveline failures due to missing washers, incorrect thickness of washers, etc. Wouldn't you just check that the angle isn't weirdly out of whack? Isn't that u-joint there for a reason?
Got me curious too considering that I learned that U-joints have a MINIMUM angle as well for proper lubrication.

That's beside the point though. In this case, OP removed them for a reason- to bring the U-joint back to the same angle the stock one was at with the washers. Questions that I have though is why is there 0 degrees of angle (I am assuming they want it at 0 degrees) on the first joint? Looked in the TSRM and there is no mention of these supposed selective washers or anything concerning the propeller shaft angle.
