Where does the pinion snubber go? I had my repair shop put in my Eibach pro kit but they didn't put in the snubber. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you mean the bump stop? It's a little cone piece of rubber right? It bolts above the rear diff.

What he said. You'll have to remove the stock one first since it's bigger than your new one. The new one will bolt in the old one's place.

I believe the bump stops are part of the struts. When I did my springs I had forgotten all about the pinion snubber until I saw it sitting in the box a couple hours after I had put everything back together. My snubber was missing the nut that came with it, so it took me a little while to figure out that it didn't just screw into the little plate above the differential.

You need to jack up the rear of the car with the rear suspension unloaded (wheels hanging in the air) the pinion snubber is bolted to a small metal box, you must unbolt the metal box from the car to get to the nut on the back of the stock snubber. Basicly unbolt the metal box with stock snubber, remove the nut from the back of the stock snubber, replace with the aftermarket snubber, and bolt the metal box back onto the car.
