Hey guys, I am unsure if my car has this bushing installed or not. Is there a way that I could see it if I had the car up on a lift? For instance, I see the pics on Creative Steels website and it shows the GM bushing and the CS bushing side by side. Will I be able to see these differences?
Also, can you see the diff block?
To add, my car barely clunks at all.

You probably saw in the pics but the cs bushing is solid and the stocker has gaps on the horizontal sides (if it's clocked right)..that's the easiest way to tell. You'll probably need a flashlight but yes you can tell.

The diff block resides in the void just above the diff bushing (obviously), basically in contact with the diff case, whereas it's hollow without.. Again a bright flashlight will tell you whether that void is almost full or not..

On a lift with a screw jack and a 4ft pry bar the bolt went right in for me with the CS bushing and block....
