    ADD. Funny, I had manual in my ‘86 & remember heading to school. I’d leave the hubs unlocked on the highway & then when I hit Springfield I would get out at a red light & switch them over. Thought it was so awesome to have the add. It wasn’t until doing the wheel bearing that I learned of the benefits of the manual.
    Anyway, good to know about the normal drag comparison.

    I guess that makes me a Sissy .

    I have driven with it off waiting for the broken parts to show up.

    I like that it does handle better with it on not much but some.

    Only reason I don't have one is because it's not a daily driver. It gets driven to the trail, and occasionally to home depot, and not much else.

    Higher end shocks help tremendously, though.

    Yeah, I did my poly bushings long before I upgraded my UCAs so I did uppers and lowers together. My UCAs came with bushings too. I suppose I could have kept them as spares, but I didn't bother to find out if they were compatible with my UCAs.
