I can then add some neoprene washers where the outside edge of the heim clicks against other hard parts.
The replacement bar you sent had the same joints on both ends, whereas the original bar had a seal on one of the joints, the diff end, I think. Thanks, Stan.

Contact your local Snap On tool guy and buy some 3/8 ths air ratchet protective heads. They will not only look good, but they come in different colors.

A little FYI
Don't lift the rear of a car by the center of the dif. The tubes are relitivly thin wall and you can knock the entire rear end out of alignment. Pick up at the spring mount.
