Interesting info.
I was aware of the poly vs rubber discussion but don't remember hearing about an aluminum disk.
I have the solids for clamping down the diff cross member.
I guess I need to research that one.
Got a link to the disk or a recommendation on who to get it from....???
Thanks

This nifty kit secures the crossmember to the frame, minimizing the up and down flex while eliminating wheel hop and that horrible bang noise that occurs on initial launch and between shifts. Amen.
Also includes front tongue bushing eliminator and new bolts so installations a snap.
Proven so successful
Part #10V-LK Price $80.00
MADE IN U.S.A.

See above post with Toms reply from his web site.
Toms is very well known here for parts for bullet proof corvette rear ends. they deal with HP...
If your sub 400 poly or rubber is probably fine,,, like I stated earlier, I'm in the 650+ range... and have around ~$5K in the rear-end ..... but beyond that,,, it just shifts tighter with less sponge feeling.. more solid. I like that feeling.. again, imho nothing more

Thanks, Paul. I guess I can see that there might be some element of feedback to the tail of the transmission through the driveshaft. So ... it feels better is the main thing.

Thanks PD.....I have looked at Tom's site a 100 times and never picked up on the solid disc for the front snubber as I already had the other 2 discs from Van Steel.
