I haven't used the bottle jack under the bolt yet, thanks. I have been reading the threads on this and the trailing arm bushing for a while so I thought I was ready. Well I guess there are always details! I'm glad this site is here

Any thing else someone wants to add would be appreciated! I'll post the out come of this adventure when I get it done. I'm replacing trailing arm bushings, spring shims, the subframe mounts and new shocks. I already did the diff. mount, no more squat into gear! Monday's commute should be smooth.
