placing whiteline rear dif bushings in place of stock, ksb1751. do I need to retain the stick mounting plate or what?, why do I still have play once they're tightened down? dumb basic question, help please

Are these the ones that go in the plate that bolts the rear diff to the crossmember?

I'm not sure whiteline makes a set for our specific application.

They are the bushings for the front outriggers of the dif carrier where it meets the body .

I know many people have done this

Yes you keep the stock plate. Basically you're putting one bushing between the body and outrigger and the other bushing between the plate and outrigger.

It should limit the up & down movement of the outrigger. Are you still seeing a substantial movement? There will probably still be a little movement, but it shouldn't be too bad.

I need to get around to doing that. The clunk gets annoying.

Yes, I still see a substantial amount of movement. It makes me think I should be retaining the stock bushing above the upper poly bushing I'm putting in, although I thought that this would be a total replacement for that bushing.

I'll put a picture up of what it looks like tightened up, have to pull the pictures off my phone a bit later.

Ok, maybe I misunderstood you initially.

You retain all the stock bushings and just add the whiteline bushings to fill in the gap.

Thanks, this is pretty much what I figured after taking another loon at the bushings. Want a picture put up for the sake of board posterity and/or quality?

Cool. I'll take one tomorrow and edit this post with it.

Try to do some small part to repay the wealth of knowledge this board provides me.

Once I'm done with my 91SS into 90L sedan swap (teaser, fully rebuilt ej22t w/tdo4,tmic, lot of mount, bushing, brake and other little goodies. not crazy, just clean. I'm obviously quite excited!) I'll put a full write-up to add to the collection.

Thanks!
Matt
