At least that is my understanding.
and btw has anyone re-geared their cars diff before? im swapping my rear diff internals out and changing to 3.91 gears. debating if its something i can tackle at home or if i should just take the pumkin to a shop.

Most of the rear end bushing will be in the new parts you mention. There is one bushing on the wheel hub unit that you could have a new bushing for. Another PITA bushing is the upper control arm inner bushing. That one will need some sort of press unless you got the whole mount/bushing assy. If you are doing the front radius rod bushing, the easiest/safest way is with a hydraulic press to get them out. Some of the new (aftermarket) ones are bonded in and don't need to be pressed in.
As far as the diff goes, that is out of my area. I too many shims/plays for me to want to mess with to learn for doing only once or twice.
