What gives why not run them? I am curious how they affected the ride? Does this cure the broken diff bolt problem or make it worse?

Sorry not in the market right now just wondering...

The bushings are Sold.


Short answer to your questions: I don't know.

Long answer:

Its supposed to cure the diff bolt issue and make the car "snappier" - and obviously be very durable compared to rubber. I never got the chance to verify any of this.

My car is a dual-purpose street/track car. So I figured, since I was replacing the diff, I'd just install the front delrin bushing (not the alu ones), to help protect against a bent/broken diff bolt and/or cracked rubber bushing. Anyway, as it turns out, the diff I installed was defective - so I yanked it and put in another one. While waiting for the 2nd new diff, I learned of some poly diff bushings from AKG, which I felt were better suited to my application. So I went w/ those.

So I only installed one of the three TMS bushings and only test drove it very briefly and gingerly. Because of the defective diff, I was unable to evaluate it.

Thanks

DId you percieve a difference when you got the new diff in with the poly bushings? Probably hard to tell as I recall you went with a different gear ratio that really made it pull hard.
