I fitted some new diff bushes today. I swapped out the diff oil while I was at it. 

 

The diff bush tool worked beautifully. 

 

Although I managed it in decent time I gotta say that doing it in the driveway kinda sucks.

 

I took it for a test drive and it feels heaps better.

 

Now to smash some beers.

Was it heaps shagged before you done it? 

I ask because mine seems fairly tight. Even with my high km's. Pretty sure they're the originals.

Yeah 2 were pretty stuffed.

 

I could feel that they were worn for a while but when it tramped at the drags it wrecked them. 

 

It was so bad that if I gave it any the whole car would lurch sideways and also I would have to correct it if I hit any road variations on the highway. 

 

I took many pictures during the process. I'll put them up tomorrow cos I cbf tonight. I'll chuck one or 2 up now.

Control blades are in poor condition so I'll replace them soon as well. Also have to replace tailshaft centre bearing asap.

I'm not showing any of those symptoms just yet. 

I'm gathering you dropped the whole rear end out? 

How many km's have you got on yours?

Yep I dropped the subframe and removed the diff.

 

Mine currently has 157xxx. 

 

I noticed that there had been at least one set of bushes installed previously due to cut marks in the bush housings.
