Nice, need to do all this next. I’m sitting on a vincebar Kit and no one local to install it without charging nearly $5,000. Also curious how is the diff whine?

You hear more diff whine from al bushings? Other than that, the rear end should feel super tight. After my CMP was done, it kinda felt like someone added a big swaybar in the back.
Need to say thanks to Cayn from CMP who answered multiple emails regarding clarification on the instructions and to the diy thread in the previous forum with the write up and pics.

Yes, more diff whine. I kind of liked it on the short drive yesterday but could see it being annoying on a long drive. Have to get the back seats and carpet installed which cut down on the volume a little. The rear end felt really good. Much tighter than before.

Update on the aluminum diff bushings, installed rear seats and trunk liner today. As expected diff whine much reduced, you can hear it but it’s not real noticeable, you have to listen for it.

Knocked out a shifter rebuild. New bushings in many places, plus I cleaned it up (since it’s obviously seen often by other people). The **** clip wasn’t bad coming off, really didn’t want to go back in though. Gearshift rod joint (25117580281) was probably the most shot of them all. The foam on the inside was basically gone.
Guibo and CSB tomorrow. Then everything back together hopefully, time dependent. Have Zoom trivia at 8pm and need to be clean and ready for that.
