Posted September 27, 200915 yr comment_295868 This is a pic of my differential rear crossbar mount. (Don't know the proper terminology here) Common sense would tell me it should be sandwiched between those two washers/bushings. I guess this is where my faint clunk is coming from when switching gears. It was solid as a rock after I installed my RT style front mount, but it has slowly developed a slight clunk again. Would the nuts have backed off or something? Should I just run them back up, or are the bushings worn out and compressed? Both sides look the same....

September 27, 200915 yr Author comment_295873 I kind of figured so. Any suggestions on an upgraded option? Would poly be a good choice for these?

September 28, 200915 yr comment_295904 I had poly and removed them. This all depends on the use of the Z . I found that poly transmitted gear and road noise into the cabin. I switched back to the OEM rubber and it eliminated about 40% of the combined noise. I didn't notice any difference in performance.

I didn't notice any difference in performance.I already have a noticeable amount of gear noise, so you definitely just talked me out of poly. Where is a good source for the OEM bushings? All I've found on MSA are poly. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33346-rear-suspensionguessing-this-is-bad/#findComment-295909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
