Zane has welded a few of these and with his territory originally. 6mm plate on a 45° from the drivers side of the bush housing and a small plate on the passenger side also. This is from my fading memory... Found it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some timber between jacks and IRS to get correct angle as the rear of car was higher than the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have zero experience with pushing the limits of the diff and diff supports so no idea really 🤣 have seen a lot of posts on club fg on fb of people breaking the diff bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 20y 2m 5d Location: Perth Posted 20/09/20 12:15 PM Share Posted 20/09/20 12:15 PM I don't like the twin bush setup, it caused a heap of NVH issues in my G6ET. I'll give the strengthening of the bush housing a go first. I'd say the most problems are caused from the loading and unloading of the driveline, like axle tramp or in manuals.
