Some braces on the diff brackets would be nice too...

I decided against using a bushing at either end because it seemed that the lateral stability would suffer, albeit it slightly, with a bushing to offer deflection. The johhny joints were already on the ends of my existing RE upper arms, and the heims were easily obtainable locally, and fairly cheap as well. Jay | |
