    Hello folks, can someone describe the best way to install new OEM rubber bushings into the stabilizer bar ends for a 4x4? I've called around a couple of the shops in my area but neither could help. Is there a way to press them in that won't destroy the rubber? Thanks for the help.

    Is the rubber/metal bushing that attaches the rear spring shackle to the frame support replaceable?

    Ring and Pinion Question

    This might be a dumb question but I assume there's a point where a ring gear and pinion set is too worn? I'm swapping in a used set of 3.73 gears into a 14 bolt FF and can't get a good tooth pattern. I'm no where near a gear expert but the pattern I'm getting would indicate fewer pinion shims...

    Leaf Spring Plastic Pieces

    Is there a source for the plastic pieces that go between leaf spring assemblies and the axle/mounting bracket? I've circled the items in the picture below. I've got the originals but they're not in good shape. I think the same pieces are used on rear leaf springs as well. 1985 K20 frame.
