The driveshaft *should* have been easy, Daedalus, had it not been for the center bearing being so bad it caused a stress fracture in one of the retaining studs, so it broke when we removed it. Had to cut the boss on the floorpan, weld in a new stud & weld back up & grind & paint.
Suspension is so nice & quiet, not rough at all, front camber isn't out of spec enough to warrant camber kits, rear is adjustable. Toe is out but I'll take care of that next week.
However, as Q45Tech mentioned earlier, the driveline vibration has caused excessive wear in the pinion bearing, so some noise is still there, but the vibration is gone, thank the Lord.
I'll have my new (used) diff next week, I'm going to inspect that one, install it if it's ok & start a build up on my old one with slightly taller gears in prep for taller tires, ecu. tcu. 100 shot.
