i clearly see the diff between the two mounting brackets. if they are not level w the lateral brace behind them my guess is that perhaps something might be missing from your steering rack and that it fits where the notch is?

Admitting you have a problem is the first step

What "problem" does your car have exactly?

hahahaha i do have a problem ...

well the problem seems to be the diff because when i go from stoped to 1st gear i can hear a knock like the crown gear is messed up and the drive shaft has a little play in it but i hear that is just my lsd

but also the diff mounting i dont think is the problem because i have checked all of the bolts and nothing is loose

one more thing i have started to hear a creak in my rear suspention when i go over speed bumps

oh and could it be my helper springs on my coilovers?? should i get rid of them because i think they are gay and stupid

weird. I would leave the helper springs in. The main springs might rettle without them unless you run the seats high.

Did you check the driveshaft carrier bearing? The clunk might be there.
