Is the rubberized carrier bearing something I'll have to try to get from the dealer? I can't find it at any online parts stores, and I'd rather avoid grabbing one from the pick'n'pull. Mine isn't real bad, but when I replace my u-joints I figure I may as well replace that too.

To my knowledge, those parts only come as a complete assembly from Subaru (the whole driveshaft).

 

I'd suggest you try a driveshaft shop. There is one by me that I inquired about this with, and he told me he can get and replace just the carrier bearing if it is necessary.
