T2 MSW Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 You have everything there. Diff is just the rear big mounts and the to front ears. I would avoid the solid mounts unless your not too fussed about noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Kevin likes to mend things that are not broken or improve things that are already good enough, it's his way of saying I love you. Best way to scratch this itch would be to add the additional T.T. mount to the sub-frame, you will have expressed your love with a hundred pounds and the mounts will be future-proofed for N/A-T or T.T. conversion.

Haha its funny but you actually get me It looks fairly difficult to remove and add the new mount? thats the only thing putting me off, is it really worth doing David? subframe/ diff mounts?? Ill do the ARBs, but i somewhat feel like the back of the car hits hard over bumps, a good thud it gives. Probably my 265s at the rear?

Mike2JZ Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Normally diff thumping noise can be heard with the loading/unloading of the driveline. Harsh gear changes, sharp throttle etc, driving away from a stop etc... If you don't experience this, then don't bother touching the diff bushes. Thumps heard whilst going over bumps is more likely related to suspension components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Fitting new anti-roll bar bushes front and rear with a greasing, would be kind maintenance and possibly even an improvement. You could inspect the drop links, check the diff oil level and give it a kiss whilst you're under there. If you're running less than 40 profile tyres it can only and will hit hard over bumps.

Nice! got new febi rear drop links and blue print front drop links this year, and i did the diff oil NOV 2015 I do a oil change in the engine every 6 months, what should i go for, with the diff to keep it nice and clean in there? thatll explain the thuds as the suspension is fairly good down there.

David P Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) You have recently changed the diff oil. Just check the level when you service engine and transmission fluids, or every now and then whilst you are under there kissing the drop links? 75/90W is what they like.

April time ill do the engine and 2L of geabox fluid, might even do a ratio of 75% ATF and 25% Lucas stop slip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pot per full flush is enough of that stuff, better idea to add 1/4 pot per 2 litre partial fluid change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I've a couple of brand new bush kits for the front control arms and rear subframe if you're looking to upgrade either of those. Click the first link in my sig, the bushes are listed under the suspension heading. Hit me with an offer if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
