Guys,
I got all my airline ran. Now I am getting ready to drop the rear-end and put my bags and shit in the ass. Anyway, I was looking at the rear-end and there are some parts there that I was not expecting. (Mostly because I am a complete newbie when it comes to this kind of thing)
First, There is a lever-type curved bar which attaches to the rear-end near the pumpkin and connects to the frame above the rear-end. I assume that the purpose of this "thing" is to keep the rear-end / drive shaft aligned when there is travel in the suspension. What the hell is this thing called?
Second, it has a small bar, which looks like a sway bar attached to the rear-suspension as well. What the hell is this?
Finally, what it the name of the suspension piece that the bag sits on. I think motor heads call it a traction bar or something? It is a straight bar which attaches to the frame and the coil spring sits on it.
I am wanting to get all new bushings for the moving rear-end parts on the chevy before I put it together. I need help with the terminology so I don't look like a complete ass. What kind of bushings and shit should I look to replace while I have the ass-end dropped out of the car.
