Thats beutiful Mike where do you live?

I live in Rancho Santa Margarita at the moment in a condo, it sucks, too many stuck up rich prissy people here. I am moving to Costa Mesa in July, I am currently restoring the house my dad lived in, he passed last november...pic attached, Its a mile from the beach.

Im sorry to here that Mike! His house is beautifal. I would rather be there then in Michigan!

Thanks, it was a rough few weeks for me:(

Yeah i bet! I havent lost my father yet, but my best friend just went to a Redwings game then went to a party and they found him dead the next morning! I didnt know till just today but it turns out he was diabetic and he did not know this! He died of diabetic shock!

Sorry to hear that as well:(

Re-post, went a little off topic but thats ok, Any input on this?
 

Ok, pic one, I take it this is my carrier bearing? The rubber grommet has about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of play in the metal housing, the bearing seems fine. The u-joints are tight with no play at all.

OK, great pics!

The hole in the end of your spring is so you can mount a pad. Look at your other spring leaf ends. See the plastic tabs sticking out of the bottom? The top is a thin, barely visible plastic pad that absorbs shock and noise. You can get the pads at most 4X4 shops. Of course, they'll be half what you pay at a dealer and last twice as long, but everybody has a cross to bear in life.

Thanks Rivereye! Sounds like a cheap repair. Any thoughts on the carrier bearing play comment?

I haven't had any experience with that, but once you quiet your springs, you'll know better if you have other noises.
