OK so I have been looking for some bushings for the rear most mount on my differential (leg turbo) Have any of you seen any bushings?

I tried some for a wrx from a company called Turn In Concepts. THese gus are wicked nice and super helpful. And he is wanting to know how many people we could get together for a group buy on these. Or possibly making some kinda spacer to make the current ones fit.

Great looking two piece urethane bushing by the way. I am really bummed mine don't fit.

Let me know everybody.

You'd have to press the old bushings out.....real pain. I hate bushings!!!

Josh, if replacing them, why not simply cut them out? A scroll saw does wonders on bushings. I, personally, used a band saw to remove all of the bushing material from the rear shifter linkage mount.

well, don't you still have to press the new ones in?

I did this because I was replacing the whole link:

Yes, you have to push the new ones in. Easier to press in than push out.

Yeah, you can cut them out. I plan on doing that when I replace the front bushing of the A-arm.

I'm just not sure how much of a benefit replacing those bushings would be. Plus....I've already got quite a bit of drivetrain vibration....not sure I want more ;)
