So about a year and a half ago I was at the track and had a little whoopsie moment when I flat shifted (yay DSMLink) from third to fourth and, in fact, hit second instead of fourth. The upshot of all this is that the rear end took one for the team and needed to be replaced. Then life got in the way and the whole thing sat idle in the garage for a while, but things are starting to come back together. I thought i had everything squared away when I came across the brackets you can see attached here. I had stuck some masking tape on them with the labels "Passenger outside rear" and "passenger inside rear", but when I looked in my trusty service manual I couldn't seem to find them. Looking at the rear end I dont see anything obviously missing, so I'm kinda stumped right now. Unfortunately I'm using a Mac so I can't run CAPS and I'm hoping someone here knows what they are and where they go. It's also possible that they're unnecessary parts from another project, like most DSMers every time I do something I end up with a few odds and ends that don't seem to go anywhere (also known as "weight savings"). If someone could chime in and let me know what exactly these things are I'd be forever grateful, thanks!
