All,

Q1: I am looking for new fuel pump bushings & possibly the noise dampener as
well.  I checked TPC and they didn't have any bushings. Is this a dreaded
dealer only item?  This is to quiet the really noisy fuel pump.  Anybody
have any ideas?

Q2: Don't have a Bentley handy so for those people with the BTDT, are there
both inner and outer bearings (sealed I assume) on an 87 5000 CSQT?  The
rear (sounds like driver side) has lately been making a humming noise that
is tire RPM related.  The noise changes volume (quieter on a left turn and
louder on a right turn) on the turn.  The differential has been recently
been topped off with Mobil1 sull synth. gear oil but this will all be
changed out as a precaution

Thanks to all in advance.
