Not the right type of bush for our cars IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fit the Super Pro comfort series there really shouldn't be an issue sine the diff is basically locked in. Most issues I see are due to only changing the rear centre bush. I ran them for quite a while in a manual and broke one bolt in 7 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 4d Gender: Male Posted 18/10/13 12:45 PM Share Posted 18/10/13 12:45 PM Start thinking about redesigning the rear bush setup. It will never do the job regardless of what bolt or bush you use.I was thinking of putting a bumpstop under the tail of the diff cover. It would entail welding some flats on the cradle and on the tail and having a bumpstop inbetween. If done well then under load the bumpstop will take the load rather than the diff bolt smashing on the bottom side of the bush.Its one of several ways I have thought to do it but maybe the simplest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
