Torque rods installed, I do not know why people say they are noisy as I did not notice any odd new sounds, Also installed two new front tires as my 2+ year old tires had a bit of camber wear on pass side and small line that looked like it was coming apart on the inside. Either way it fixed my vibration issue.
Rear suspension wise new rods seem to feel good so far, I will drive it to work tomorrow and see how it feels. I will re-torque them tomorrow night after I put 100 miles on it.
Sorry for the bad pictures, no idea why the camera was taking such bad pictures today.
Notice how the big bushing had rotated 90 degrees while installed, very odd, all of those bushings are ~2-3 years old as I installed new when I did the reinforce the subframe.
You can see the awesome welding work that Jao did to strengthen these
Doing the best I could I measured what looks to be -2 deg on the diff so that is near ideal already, both rods were matched to stock lengths as you can see, but some how my new adjustments were a little off as stock was -.2 and now it is -1.8 deg more so I am going to stick with that for now.
