We I noticied I tore my grease boot the other day, so i took time to replace it this weekend. Then i noticed that my rear end looked like it was shoved over 2 or so inches. Then i took a look directly behind towards the differental and seen 3 large cracks that went all the way through. I was pissed. So yesterday I pulled the rear subframe out of my parts car, took 30 minutes, six bolts. Well I hope it goes in easier with a lift. It looks like they broke on the welds and they were rust pretty bad. Nick

I put my subframe in. It was only 6 bolts plus 4 drive shaft bolts. Lineing up the old subframe was much harder but I did it all myself in about 9 hours. I ran into alot of little stuff like bad pins, stripped bolt, changing in my VLSD, changing grease boots, and etc. I can get some pics up soon of the damage. Nick
