O.K. Madman. Will do. I've got the car off the lift and the rears on ramps to let the new suspension rubber settle. Tomorrow I'll tighten everything up and align the axle.

I'm hoping I've now cured the vibration over 50mph that I had. The suspension rubber was bad, but not terrible. The U joints were good but the carrier bearing bushing was a little loose. The bearing looked good, but I replaced it anyway. I suspect the real culprit was the rear engine mount which was totally destroyed.

Is it necessary to loosen the nuts where the front trailing arm bracket mounts to the body when doing the alignment? I notice there are slots in the bracket where the studs/bolts mount.
