well i put new rubber bushings on the 3 bolts on rear diff. not a bad job till original bolts were to short so off to the hardware store. get back and i guess i pulled the diff out to much dropping the drive shaft out and low and behold a huge pool of good old stinking tranny gear oil. put new longer bolts in, moved mutt and cleaned up a gal. of oil.it was not a bad job just wish when you buy the said [ quiet it down kit] they could put you three or six 1in. longer bolts with it for very little money. saves a lot of hassel.

Don't you just hate when you pull the drive shaft off to work on the diff and you pull to far and the jeep pukes on the garage floor.... :) Been there done that.
There is one nut on a M151 that is very difficult to remove.....
