Spent an entire morning running around from parts stores to dealerships trying to find an axle-end track bar bushing in polyurethane that would fit the stock sized bolt I got from the dealer (bolt=$4, nut=$16). Every one I could find was so large in the sleeve that the bolt danced around in...

Would anyone know about swapping in a D35 drive shaft onto my C 8.25 now that it has a 3 inch lift in back? This would be strictly for the extra length. I don't have vibration (yet) but the shaft is pulled out pretty far. :dunno:
