Re: 63-79 Guys (Van Steel)
Locator kit. Got em on my car. They are suppose to help hold the crossmember in position and keep it from shifting on the bushings. Since I got the shutterbug today and my cars on stands...wala..heres a pic of them installed. My kit uses a stud and nut instead of bolt. Same diff though.

Re: 63-79 Guys (72GACRZR)
yur welcome van
72GACRZR, its a piece of cake to put em on. Jack the rear and put stands under the frame. Leave the floor jack or put a bottle jack under the diff/center spring to support the weight of the xmember/diff assembly. Remove the existing xmember bolts. Feed the new bolt with washer thru the disc and install. The disc makes contact with the metal part of the xmember when tightened. It makes a more positive connection that way. Helps suppurt the whole unit so its more secure and wont deflect as much when under heavy load such as when upshifting at WOT or when cornering hard.
