    Awesome. Dont scrap that until I hear from eastern :) EDIT: No real updates yet. Eastern let me know they're in the middle of a warehouse move, but are still looking.

    Torque rod stud doesn't fit all the way into new rear trunnion opening

    Yeah thats the problem. The taper isnt a standard size as far as Ive been able to figure out. So if they have to get a custom tool made the price will get crazy.

    As part of my rear suspension rebuild I had to get a new NOS trunnion. Got it from easternsurplus and just now got to the point of getting torque rods installed.
