Leveling issues by large have been addressed.. However, in the quest to regain as much of its original glory as possible I've become determined to address other issues one by one.

At lunch today I was at a very long stoplight and put the car into neutral. It was the first time that I noticed a big drop in the rear. Not to say that it was not like that a day ago, but that is the first time I've noticed it.

I now suspect the rear diff mount is due for a change.
