One axle boot is leaking pretty bad so it's time to finally
put in the 2.88 diff that's been sitting in the garage for a year.
Have the axles off the 2.88--one good--one leaks.
Might have VSTECH do a reboot on the two leakers.
The rear subframe bushings are worn so I'm doing those, too.
What else would you do if you were in that far?

The flex disc looks fine, but I think I might replace it just on principal.
Did the diff mount a couple of years ago.

Thanks for any advice,
Jeff

Do you see snow and salt there? Inspect the trailing arms for rust.

This a a born & bred Calif car, but I will check those

The only rust I've seen is a small spot under rear window.
Have replacement glass for that but that is another day.
