Other than the wheel hop and the loose front steering it drive just fine.
I bet that would be way to stiff for me.

You don't have to, I already know. We replaced the bushings in Thejeanyus's 03 several years ago

Just the diff or everything? Apparently its an 'all or none' deal to see any real benefits.
Seems to me it would make NVH go through the roof but according to several on there you do all and the IRS will operate as it should without killing your back. May consider this for the wife's since all of her bushings probably need replacing anyhow

The price for the complete IRS bushing kit is $595.00. Individual component prices are listed below. Note, as of 6-01-09 we have unfortunately been forced to eliminate the free freight.

That's sounds very high. I didn't pay that much for the irs!!
