Glad to hear the installation went well for you smoloney. I have a question for you or anyone else for that matter since you were under the guidance of a professional installer if you don't mind. When you installed the bushing in the torque tube did you remove both the front and rear bearings and the oil seal from the tube before installing the bushing with seal that was included in the kit? The instructions that were on the bushing that I received said to leave the rear bearing and seal in place. My concern is if I leave the rear bearing and seal in place the bearing will get hot and eventually fail since there will be no lubrication to it now. Also the old seal will eat into the shift since there is no lubrication there either.
