Well I have been tracking down a problem with my car going into limp mode for a long time. The other day I noticed my carrier bearing was bad, I could move the passenger side axle up and down and that?s not good. It was causing a vibration through the carrier bearing bracket and the brace that bolts onto the block by the knock sensor making it think the motor was knocking.
Here is a video of the bad bearing

I looked for a "how to" on replacing a carrier bearing and found nothing. Since I found nothing, here you go. I believe the non-turbo doesn't have one.
Tools you will need.
17mm socket (prefer ?? drive)
14mm socket
32mm deep well socket
17mm wrench
14mm wrench
8mm allen key
5mm allen key
C-clip pliers (needle nose will work but will be harder)
Small and large flat screw driver
Channel locks or plyers
Hammer
Before jacking up the car break loose the 32mm axle bolt.
Before removing the axle break lose the 8mm allen bolts holding the race together. Just break them loose.

I will have pictures up later to help on removal of the axle.
To remove the axle:
1. Jack up both sides of the car so there is no pressure on the sway bar.
2. Use the 32mm socket to loosen the axle nut.
3. Unless you have aftermarket ball joints the two ball joint to hub bolts should be 17mm, mine are moog so they are 18mm.
Take out the 17mm hub to ball joint bolts and the 17mm tie rod bolt and nut.
4. Take off the 14mm end link nut with the 14mm wrench and 5mm allen and take it out of the strut housing hole.
5. Crawl under the car and you will see the carrier bracket bolted to the block above the exhaust with a brace hooked onto the block by the knock sensor. Unbolt all of this. Mine are a mix between 14mm and 17mm yours might be different.
6. Go back to the hub and slide the screwdriver between the metal top of the ball joint and the hub, don?t let it slip and slice the boot. This will allow the hub to move freely now and you can take the axle out of the hub side.
7. Let the axle lay on the cross member and go under the car again. Take the screw driver and put it between the block and the bracket, give it a little pry and it will flip up and around.
8. Grab the axle by the short shaft and the long shaft. Hold the short shaft still while tugging on the long shaft and the axle should pop out. It does for me. Take this out slowly and it is a puzzle but it will all come out. This step is a lot easier with a second pair of hands.
9. Now your axle is out.
