1) I think they were standard - um from memory just behind the passenger headlight?

3) Brianmoooore would say 'check the PAS fluid level, and if there isn't enough in there, get some in fast and keep your fingers crossed'

2: You should just be able to swap like for like. no extra things ( unless you go from small to big case I think!)
3: Could be a ball joint or rod end for shuddering. (Your not in a multi story carpark are you? those polished concrete floors will give those symptoms too

The LSD will most likely be a 3.64 or 3.91 if it came from a Sport.
