solid rear differential mounts and OEM front?

Recommended Posts

My rear differential bushings are cracked and worn out, and the fronts look okay and don't seem to have any play to them.

 

I was just wondering can I install SOLID rear differential mounts while retaining the OEM front diff mounts, or is it suggested it's installed as a full set if going with solid mounts?

 

 

From some reading the solid rear diff mounts make things louder and more 'harsh'. In what way would it make the car drive more harsh? My suspension setup is relatively soft, will it effect the ride stiffness?

 

Cheers

I try to avoid them. 2 main reasons, the solid mountings need to be perfectly aligned, otherwise bolting the thing up can induce huge stresses or break something

 

Solid mounts put a lot more shock through the driveline, which things may not like.

 

Possibly of lesser importance to you, they can cause a LOT of NVH.

The sub frame mounts will remain OEM.
