If the bearing roller is barrel styled it's probably a self-aligning bearing which allows for some movement or runout of the axis. Straight preloaded angular-contact and tapered roller bearings are particularly rigid and cannot take any deflection of its axis. I don't understand why there would be a self-aligning bearing in a differential carrier.
