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


Well most do not wish to spend the money on springs, which are almost always one of the largest causes of rear sag. They simply fatigue with age/use, just like valve springs. I mean for the $100 the pair of new springs cost, it is silly not to replace them.

Heck the diff mount is only about $50 retail and can be installed in about 30 minutes. The subframes are only around $75 retail too. So $225 appx in parts for a rebuilt rear is very inexpensive all things considered.
