thanks for the replys,the 900 bushings are completely different from the 240's, there's a torque arm at the top and bottom of the axle just next to the differential and they hold the axle from trying to rotate under torque, a small one in the front and the back one about 3 1/2 inchs tall does all the work and gets soft allowing the axle to rotate slightly clock and counter clockwise which is what i think i'm feeling in the shifter. it's good to know that the rear can be replaced with more ease than i expected and if the front still looks good i'll leave it be. i did invest in a 12 ton press($90.00 at harbor frieght)and if i dont use it now there will always be another time. you cant have enough tools now can you? i'll update on the results here in a couple of days.
