anyone have an explode diagram of the rear suspension?

I have to do some R&R work on my rear suspension components. If anyone has an explode out of the manual with the legend of the parts so I can see what I need to get I would really appreciate it.

The differential itself is getting delivered tomorrow.

i figure at least that from the diffuser. ))

The headers are some off brand, its actually a local company that had them. I was deciding on buying them because of that. But my friend bought a bunch from them for his cts-v and that thing dyno'd at like 750 hp.

So for the price i got them at i couldnt pass. Screw the $4700 from renntech and kleemann's are on back order for maybe 6 months.

So these have to be better than stock but im not expecting the same as say the renntechs, but they are a 10th of the price.

Renntech is outrageous on prices. Kleemann's headers are best for money. I think Eurocharged makes headers for our cars too but you gotta call and make sure they'll fit. They're shorty headers.

I saw on the CLK55 forums that they make it for those cars and I think they would fit our cars, not 100%. Best to call Eurocharged. I ordered my tune and should have it this week to give my impressions.
