well i was wrong.

i was wrong. i bought a rear differential mount for $43 and went to install it today, only to find out its the wrong part. for those of you that have seen a differential, you know that rubber piece on the driver side? well that is totally shot. my drive shaft moves up and down, and that is not supposed to happen, so when i drive if i dont let out on the clutch smoothly, or if i floor it, i hear a big BOOM in the back. so now this new piece is costin me $80 greenbacks anyway ill keep you all posted about what happens.

there is only one diff, and it's in the rear. but it has one mount on the font of it, and 2 on the rear, hence front and rear diff mounts

the front diff mount is on the front of the diff on the driver side.
