Solid diff bushes - Drifting forum

Hi guys, I've been getting alot of tranny wobble since I put my two way in and was looking to eliminate some of this a step at a time by slotting in an uprated gbox mount and solid diff bushes.

Just wondering as most of you have been through this before is it possible to drop these in-in situ without dropping the subby ? expecting to drop the diff obviously like

Gearbox mount and diff mounts can be done easily without dropping anything, diff will only need to be unbolted and dropped enough to slot the old bushes out and new ones in

Ah the man who can thats good to know as I was having visions of presses and freezers to slot the diff bushes in.

Any idea whats in stock and whats not matey and is there anything else worth doing in that area at the same time ?

Can't drop the subby at the moment unfortunatley due to where its stored

Solid diff bushes, and both poly and nismo gearbox mounts are in stock. They're easy enough jobs that don't really help access to anything else, so not really. Engine mounts is the only other thing I'd do if you're doing the gearbox mount too.

Tramp won't be helped if you've got stock subframe bushes, you need locking collars at a minimum I guess.

Oh and the diff bushes will go in easier if you put them in a freezer first, but it won't make a huge difference they should go in fairly easily anyway.

I've got collars on at the mo matey but the wobble seems to be more in the transmission tunnel than at the wheels, I've demolished one rear gbox seal in the process.

I'd not be surprised if the bushed inside the collar are bled to death but can't see any signs of leakage. The rest of the underside is fairly stiffened ARB's cusco toe and camber arms tein flexes. Think I'm going to have to do what i can then work forward towards getting solid subby units in place.
