Do Your N/A-T Diff A Favour


Recommended Posts

T.T's. have an extra diff-mount which prevents the extra torque from twisting the differential and causing issues with oil seals and/or drive cup splines.

 

Below is How-To do your diff a favour and improve the "drive".

Alternatively, for less than a quarter of Mr T's price you can upgrade an N/A sub-frame with this aftermarket bush.

With a squidge of Fairy Liquid and a pry-bar, this will slip in like a good Saturday night. :D

 

Tip: Fit centre piece AFTER bush is installed.

 

 

It doesn't come with the (10MT 1.5?) Allen bolt needed to mount it, (part no. T90110-14007) but it's only a couple of quid.

The proper way to fit the OE bush is to remove the sub-frame and press it in with a hydraulic ram.

 

The workaround way of fitting this bush is to; undo the anti-roll bar at the bushes and drop it down out of the way, clean up the hole with a flappy abrasive wheel and then the outside of the metalastic cushion until it can only just be knocked in. Put a fat bead of bathroom high modulus silicone around it before fitting the bolt and drawing & knocking it home.

 

I will be doing this job on Delboy52's Supra and will endeavour to take some pics.
