After 15,000 miles the rear axle bearings I probably shouldn't have reused were noisy; the right hand bearing carrier housing was leaking at the flange as I had installed them dry. The front suspension seals were rapidly falling apart and I didn't care for the way I installed the V-8 Bushings on the A-Arms.
