little tech tip with rubber bushes you should tighten the bolts for the diff in ride height position as the bushes can tear from twisting.

Yeah your right mate coz i think if you dont you run the risk of tearing the rubbers from out of the LCA.

While your here giving out free tips can you give me something for bush replacement on lower arms? I've heard plenty of times it's simple. Front bush presses out no issues. Rear bush on diff same thing, or split outer shell with cold chisel etc, then knock out. New ones press in fine Until I see a video of it I'll refuse to believe it. I split the front bush basically want to break any strong bond formed with the 2 metals. By the end I had torched the rubber, knocked and cut the outer casing, but even with their tapered design and something solid supporting the inner walls of LCA.. pushing them out still managed to managed to tweak it . New bush started going in fine until close to centerd then fell through the other side. They're tapered and have only one direction for in and out. I don't get how it's possible. Also no one who films doing rear end bushes conveniently don't include the LCAs sorry for going off the rails there

Both comments above are accurate. Jack car up, with wheels off and Jack stands under the frame, take the bottom bolt out of the shock(s). Have a Jack under the diff when doing it, then you can lower it down slowly and safely
