>Additionally, I purchased new poly bushes from BP Northwest for the

arm mounts.  I thought I read somewhere that the bushes where split down the
middle for easier installation but these are a solid piece??  Any
thoughts?.....


When I purchased poly trailing arm bushings from BPNW, they were split (ie:
two halves for each bushing).  Perhaps they have changed their design.  I
was less than satisfied with the BPNW bushings I used, since after about
4,000 miles I experienced "cold flow" in the bushings.  I currently use Good
Parts bushings (I think they're either delrin or nylatron) and am very
satisfied with those.
