[QUOTE="GlipGlop, post: 1574782, member: 15223"] April 2022 (2 days to OSCAR) The doubler was sorted out (for the most part) so I threw together a new tail housing support using a a TMR kit. The kit worked out great and allowed me to get rid of the old 'custom' fit stuff I made back in college. it was a much needed improvement for the driveline support. I did however extend the bushing piece at the bottom to fit around the cutout in my 4 link crossmember.

Doing so ensured that the drivetrain would not twist and possibly crack a bellhousing due to the different materials in the mounts.
