Default Pics from Diff Bushing and UUC Shifter Install

Hello...just a few shots of my diff bushing install as well as the UUC shifter install. I also put on a magnaflow exhaust but I seem to have not taken any shots of that...oh well, that one doesn't take much explaining!

Just a few things to note...I never needed to lower the drive shaft so you can skip taking those three bolts off up front if you need to do this. I also got lucky removing the diff bushing as the metal sleeve came out with the bushing all in one piece.

Both products are awesome and made a huge difference! Ok, here's the pics:

Any questions on the product I used to document and mark up those pics, let me know!

Yes, I had the exhaust off anyways because I was putting on a Magnaflow...Pretty sure it would have had to come off anyways...there's no way around that

The one walk through I found for the diff bushing gave me a few worries because it seemed like they had trouble with the metal sleeve but they mentioned they did it in 20* weather...it was 85* or so and mine came out relatively easily. Not sure if it was the weather or I just got lucky...either way, no complaints!
