You can also clamp down harder and not squash them out or cut them as you might do with rubbers.Definitely a better option without any doubt.I also replaced the eye bush rubbers with urethane ones - the difference is noticable - all the rear end steering than can occur with exhuberent cornering disappears. And an extra main leaf stopped the tendency for spring windup under acceleration - no more axle tramp. Bilstein shocks completes the rear end mods.But I don't think you'd have to do all that much to yours - just the urethane inserts would be enough and I reckon you'd notice an improvement.

Yep,I am going to to the bushes mate as per what you have done as I can see this is only going to happen again.You commented that your diff was moving around as well,I assume this was totally eliminated with the new bushes?.I did not want to change the nice ride of the rear end so will not be adding extra leaf springs,Although I saw a interesting devise at a recent trade show that bolts onto the underneath of the springs and tightens up only under extrme load which I thought was a good idea.Keep the same ride but gets tighter the more load you put on it.
