[V8] rear suspension question

Woah!  Careful there, Dave.  The PN# are NOT for the bushings, but  
rather the metal mounts up front in front of the rear wheel well.   
The earlier V8s ('89/'90) used a bracket that supported the bushings  
and could be flipped from side to side (mounted with two nuts).  The  
later cars (my '91 5-speeds and '93) used three nuts to attach on a  
beefier mounting.  You do not need these replacement supports (unless  
-- highly unlikely-- you've broken yours).

Give me a moment and I'll dig up the proper PN#s for you.
