    its alive!!!!

    All my hard work has paid off for the most part. DS took care of vibration. Found vacuum leak. Rebuilt the weird vacuum from brake booster. Short shifter... subframe bushings... Xbrace ... shock tower brace... Fixed road rash on rims and painted... and so on..

    But i did notice a couple of issues.... a small one (pinched the fuel regulator oring.... dumped almost a half a tank of gas. Somehow didnt burn it down)... New bushings on diff. I heard a clunking from rear on decel at times. Could i have a bolt not tightened? The old bushings were shot. New gear shift top was coming off during shifts.

    I was wondering if you did both.

    Maybe it's a CV joint
