    I founds a TW member who I rented the puller from for $20(including his shipping it to me). I also see the kits for sale pretty regularly (of course things are different when you looking for it, LOL).

    I just went through the steps to place an order. There are various FedEx options for shipping. Bushing, puller and insertion tool is:

    Subtotal:$135.00
    Shipping:$17.63
    Total with Shipping:$152.63

    This is shipped to Alabama.

    Oh you’re one of those lol.

    I probably should have reviewed my post. I’ll rephrase, hopefully you’ll stop scratching your head.

    Is that all that is needed for the driver side only? (& you don’t even have to answer, Im sure someone else can chime in).

    Haven’t read on anyone replacing the
    CLAMSHELL PASSENGER SIDE TUBE BEARING w this kit.

    You had mentioned "2WD" and now "RWD". The ECGS bushing is for the front diff on a 4WD truck. Is your truck 2WD or 4WD?

    I also posted in what you quoted (to try and be more technical and correct my error) for the driver side.

    To be more clear RWD

    Vehicle is a non 4x4

    Ok, the ECGS only applies to the front diff on a 4wd. The rear diff is a solid axle and doesn't have the issue that the ECGS corrects.

    No, only disconnecting the tie rod and lower ball joint, doesn't mess with any of the steering geometry. The tie rod goes back into its taper and the lower joint bolts are shouldered so it realigns itself back to same position.

    correct

    Can someone help me determine what I need to buy. When I look at the ecgs website I see 6 reverse clamshell bushing that says it eliminates the needle bearing. What do I need to buy? I got a 3.5" rc lift and I want to be prepared before the bad happens.

    Thank you
