Re: quick questions

Trans mount ot tq arm mount would be my guess. Theres no rubber on the driveshaft itself.

If I recall, the two piece DS has a bushing at the center carrier bearing. Anyone who still has a two piece care to confirm? I replaced mine with the one piece LS1 alum DS a long time ago.
