I tried posting this on the v6 area but there is not much talking there. Don't blame em I've been there before. Does anyone know if the bushing for the upper control arm where it connects to the differential- if the 7.5 diff. is the same size bushing as a 8.8 diff.???

It's exactly the same. I just installed one on my 7.5 diff that was listed for both a 7.5 and 8.8, went on perfectly. Here's a link to what I bought:

I also recommend buying the tool to remove the old and install the new one:

It made removal and installation a breeze.

Yes, it's used for removing and installing. Well worth the $$$$, IMO.

I can say that I didn't use the tool when I did my bushings and they took 1 hour (first one I did was under the car, how dumb is that) then the other one took 10 minutes...

So how much is your time worth?
