Steve, I read of your problems with upper rubber bushings cracking. I find that strange because there's far more weight on the lower rubbers. I wasted 3 sets of stock lower rubber bushings and one set of poly bushings on the Pantera before I finally got disgusted with changing them and went to Heim-jointed Konis. And our rear end is lighter than yours....(no remarks from the Peanut Gallery!) There was no detectable increase in road noise from the solid mounted Konis.
