Looks good,
Interested about the drive shunt etc as mine currently feels when I lift off the power it 'lurches' hard to explain. What does the new prop shaft 'add' just less play etc? I'm soon to have an uprated roll bar and Bilsteins fitted to mine but interesting to hear about the other mods. Thanks |

Cool, like the pedal covers, do the isolaters bring her back to standard height? I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/

@stacey. Needs a good wash
Mine was twisted when I got it, so it does have updated ARB front and rear, and Bilstein b6’s which having driven other D90’s, makes a big difference The springs make it much more stable and planted, I think the isolators do help cushion the spring to chassis bounce, crashing, metal to metal, think all the upgrades have taken all the slack and vibration out of the driveline. It’s very smooth, and gear changes do feel much easier, I do have a slick shift too. @Osloblue. The isolators have probably added 1/4” back, although they have probably compressed with the weight back on. It has lowered it and closed the gaps under the wheel arches. So, I’m guessing it’s dropped just under an inch, but, bodyroll has gone, completely, driving on road is much smoother, bumps and joins in the road as soaked up, so much, much better and the harshness has gone. |

The rear halfshafts were badly worn, the rear diff was worn / slack, the rear propshaft was also on the way out, bad UJ. So, hard to pin point what took away the slack, My guess, all of this removed it together.

How many miles have you got out of the diff? Did you do the output shaft as well?

Mine is clonking at 65k. Have done he half shafts but to no avail. I think I’ll end up going the same route as you.

You've made some nice mods there. I particularly like the pouches and molle panel on the rear door.
I'm not sure about the springs though - your comparison pic looks like the rear has been dropped by a lot more than an inch. It appears as though the back is heavily loaded  Darren
