Torque load

Hey Jay... you're exactly right. Getting the effing bolt to line up was a
huge PITA. But, I also had a hell of a time getting the mount between the
sleeves/brackets. I think because the inserts don't fit in as far as they
would on the new oem mount, that the combo made it even wider than expected.

I greased and soaped that biatch like a pig at a farmers coming out party,
still was extremely tough to insert it.

I'm pretty sure that the mount is stiffer because I had to compress it more.
If it's not the ball joints and bushings making that creaking and clacking
noise, maybe it's the torque load being put on the dogbone mount and
surrounding area.

After you've installed the bushings and ball joints, we'll have to see it
the noise goes away.

Later,
