[QUOTE="NJredfire03, post: 11941494, member: 117053"] Wow, nice man. I'm hoping to have some kind of the same review but not to it's entirety because I didn't do all the work you did. I got to work on mine a bit more friday night and got the front subframe bushings in and bolted back up. I torqued the front subframe bolts to 76ft/lbs as per MM's instructions. I used the 14mm replacement bolts and not FTBR's stage 8 9/16th's. Wondering if I have the correct torque on those bolts. Also I noticed that there was no way that the OEM bolts were torqued all the way. Pretty easy to come out. They were also the 12mm that came from factory. i was having a pretty nasty almost crunching noise on bumps coming from the right rear. I was told it was due to those 12mm bolts. So I am hoping that the new bushings and 14mm bolts will fix that. Another observation, on the right side front subframe bushing, it was almost too easy to remove that bushing. It felt like it came out without much effort at all. I'm wondering if that had anything to do with the crunching sound on bumps. After having the front subframe dropped for about only an hour, getting it back up into position, where the holes lined up again, was not an easy task at all. We had to use dead blows, pry bars, and even a ratchet strap to get the holes lined back up to bolt it back up. I looked at the OEM diff cover again to look for the fill plug. And I only see one plug on the OEM cover and it's half way up the cover on the right side. This IS the fill plug, right? [/QUOTE]
