Hey, while I'm here - I really should get a new A/C receiver drier. Is the 92 Liberty one interchangeable?

I have a (technically band-aid) solution that I'm going to strongly recommend here:

Essentially, order KTD-903 Whiteline bushings (readily available from Ebay) and cut off the excess to fit into your worn rear diff bushings. Depending on how much or how little rubber is left in the original bushing, you can cut less or more of the excess off. Grease it up, slide it in, and no more thumping when you put it into gear.
Works well and is far easier to accomplish than actually pressing the stock bushing out and a new OEM bushing in. I have not attempted to change the actual bushings, but I have it on good authority that it's a serious PITA.
