well, this past weekend i finally got around to doing the subframe mount bushings and differential mount that i ordered two months ago and kept looking at on the garage floor. they both were not
difficult but did require some persistence.

subframe bushings were not easily coaxed by prying, so i resorted
to the old carriage bolt with nuts and washers routine; applied
pressure with the jack to the suspension and waited about a minute, and man did that thing pop out with a bang!

hardest part was realigning the differential mount to be bolted
back to the floor. after wasting a half hour pushing and pulling
every which way, i finally realized it wasn't going anywhere until
i moved the jack stands from below the shock absorbers to the
frame. duh! then she cooperated!

anyway, everything's shipshape now as it were. next stop: bilsteins. slowly but surely, all that sloppiness in the rearend
is going away.
