Hi b,
If that's paint on the rubber bushing, yes.
That's very close to the position of the carrier on my 71.
Regards,
Alan

thanks
Thanks a lot for the reply. I guess it just looks as if the parts should come together. Could have avoided the question altogether if I took a pic before disassembly.

Also a thin coat of anti-sieze in the cups will make life easier for you if you ever have to drop the diff again...

Hi at,
I see them listed at Dr. Rebuild and Paragon.
I'd think other venders have them too, but I didn't see any in a quick look.
Regards,
Alan

Airtime,
I didn't replace mine but I see that Davies has them for $59 each PN 652236. Zip also has them for $119 a set. I just ordered some parts from them and they gave me free shipping even though I expected to pay $8-10. Corvette America also has them for $65 each PN X2620.
