Now I didn't replace the differential carrier bushings because Bill B. had warned me not to. Just keep it rubber. Plus they still looked good.

One thing that suprised me is that the kit did not come with front or rear sway bar bushings. Go figure. I checked my rear sway bar end link bushings. All that was left of any bushing that used to be there was a few crumbled pieces. In other words no bushing at all. I've got front and rear sway bar bushings on the way. Those are really easy to do.

And of course 35 runs down the drag strip over the 2 year span that I had them probably didn't help.
