Lift FTW! Having done the upper and mount with help from a friend I think I could do the job again a lot quicker. It always takes longer the first time. The dumbest part of the whole install is needing to torque the arm to the bracket while it's out of the car. There is a way around that but it still seems like a stupid design to me.

Spent the afternoon installing the updated Roto-Joints. I really hope it's a loooong time until I have tear the rear suspension out again. Took it out for a quick test ride and so far all is silent again. Rear end doesn't feel loose around turns anymore either. Feels much more predictable again. Time will tell if the new design solved my clunking problem. Actually it was more of a clacking sound, if that makes sense.

Good to hear! I know I hate having to re-do stuff, especially suspension stuff!
