Question on solid rear diff bushings....

AMS Team - I am getting ready to have the bushings on the rear diff "ears" pushed out and run the solid ones...

I was wondering if I need to re-use the cup shaped piece on the bottom end and the rubber piece on the top end?

Does the solid bushings replace all of it and the bolt go straight thru into the body/subframe? I am just wondering if a flat washer should be used or something to keep the bolt from getting pulled thru? Hope I am making sense.

I can post pics if that helps explain what I mean.

Thanks!

you do not use the the cupped shaped washers. Yes the bolt goes directly through the solid bushing

Thanks....

So, I don't need to use the thin rubber piece as well, right?

I hate to sound **** - I am worried bolt will pull thru, I may add a round washer to be safe. It shouldnt affect clearance or bolt depth. I want to distribute the bolts load on the bushing...

AMS - Anything wrong with my approach? Thanks!
