Differential Bushings

[93mkviii]

I'm going to be replacing the front mount bushings for the rear differential. How hard is the process? I've done research and some question dropping the exhaust. I'm thinking about putting the car on ramps and putting a jack under the differential and loosening the bolts and then move the jack down by about half an inch. Is it that simple? What are the torque specifications if there are any.

It's a piece of cake. The exhaust may have to be dropped, depending on what exhaust you're running. There is a torque spec, but I don't recall it off the top of my head.

Hey where can i buy the rear mount that is in a V formation? I can only find a aftermarket one for 300. Also, is this as easy to replace as unbolting and swap?

I don't know that the stock rear mount is available anymore (I haven't looked for one). Yes, it's a simple unbolt and replace job.

Okay since i couldn't find this part anywhere and I didn't have the OEM part number I just ended up calling the dealer. It was $46 but right now i'm not sure if it is exactly the right part so i will update.

If you actually get the rear mount, please post the part number.

So I'm looking for the source of a noise in the back of my 94 mark. Sounded like a bad CV or U Joint. Looked around while checking the CV joints and noticed movement on the pass side of the differential.Replaced bushings . Problem Solved
