    Just a reminder, check those diff mount bolts!

    Yesterday, I heard a clunking noise when braking from the rear, so I decided to look under the car when i got to my friends.


    The Front passenger side bolt for the diff was gone, the front driver side one had backed itself almost all the way out (maybe 1 or 2 threads were holding it in) the top 2 I could remove with my hand, and the rear mount was still torqued.

    The last time i worked on the car was the tranny swap, and they were all torqued, so I think I am going to toss some loctite on them next week, to prevent this.

    anyway if you hear clunking, look at the back!
