SC was in for inspection today and came out with a long list of suspension items to be replaced. Unfortunately I don't have the time or know-how to replace them all myself so I am having the shop do it. On top of that are the rear pads and rotors which I'll have to do.
Anyway, the issue I have is that I was told the rear diff mount needs to be replaced, along with the IRS bushings and transmission rear output seal, all of which are discontinued. The IRS bushings are available in poly so I will get those online, the rear seal I see is available at advance auto, so I'll probably get that, and as for the other diff mount, which he referred to as a "dog bone", and didn't know the real name of it, I was not sure about. I did some searching and finally came across this thread . Has anyone used the 4.6 diff mount in their SC? If it's the only thing available then I don't see any alternative. Is that the correct part number for the part that is still available (f3ly4b425a)? Help would be greatly appreciated. This is gonna wipe out most of my cash, better do it right I guess.
