i did my search about the rear "thump" noise in the rear
i was a little confuse about the answers i got. first off it seems like the FD you need to replace the pillow ball. So i went to autozone to go look for one or order one. guess, what they dont have any or know wtf it is. next i went to a mechanic, who also said wtf is that. then i did some more search and found out that on the FC, which i have, the differential mounts need to be replaced. so which one is it? mounts or pillow ball?

I would replace all of them. 9 times out of 10 them all have the same mileage on them as well as the same wear and tear. You would probably feel stupid if you replaced only one and had the rest of them fail in succession soon after.
I would replace them in sets.
but thats just my opinion!

I'm wondering if the rear has two bushing on it, Why replace only one?
Thats the equivalent to dropping one cylinder, pulling the motor out, taking it apart, and only doing rings in one cylinder. But I may be wrong. This rotary thing is new to me so I better be quiet.
But he needs to start charging those fat girl to ride. J/K

The two rear mounts aren't typicaly in that bad of shape. But if you are going to pull all the stuff to replace the front mount and happen to have the money just spring for it and replace all three

also do a search for "pinion snubber" in the FC forums. typically the "bump" noise you hear is the nose of the diff bouncing up and down because the front diff mount tore in half. in this case the snubber is a big rubber bump stop that you can mount directly above the nose on the diff and it keeps it from riding up - taking some stress off of the front diff mount.
it's not absolutely necessary, but it is cheap insurance (the part is just a few dollars) and fairly easy to do when changing the front diff mount.
good luck,
