Doubt I'll go to the trouble of doing the bat-wing or PS rack bushings until I need to remove them for other servicing. So far, everything has fit and performed well. Note the sway bar bushings are not included in the kit.

I need to know this kit includes the bat wing bushing thats why I going to rebush the car I need to pull the bat wing the Diff is leaking If I need to pull it might as well redo the bushing as long I in there.

Aslo I putiing new Posi clucth and springs I might put new bearing in the diff also but I have to find out what they charge for installing a bearing and seal kit.

If cost just as much to put a bearing kits as for a regear I put some lower gears in it I have 307 now I go with 354 or 373 I know the gear set about $400.00 alone.

I turning 2200 at 70 MPH if I go with 354 I be turning 2450 and with 373 I be turning 2700 RPM's I have to think about 2700 that kinda on the high side.

Yes it does. Don't know if I'd replace all the bushings just because I had the bat wing out though
