Supero pro diff bushing fitting problem
Hello. I've tryed to install a couple of Super Pro differential poly bushing on my Miata, but i found that they had a fairy amount of play when the diff was reinstalled.
Turned out that the inner bore went bottomed before the bushing body, so the latter didn't got compressed. I have stripped the bottom closing plate of the bushing from the triangle-shape rubber like i've watched in every video of bushing fitting. But this Super pro bushing have a strange shape on the bottom part, so that the plate touch only the inner part. I suspect that on those bushings i had to keep the rubber. Any experience or thought from you guys? https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e3bde26494.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...a635b32d35.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1ad375b643.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c8e2bbf26.jpeg |
Im looking at the same bushings on my bench and what to know what you find before I begin installing mine. My plate was so rusted that I'm looking for replacements before I attempt. I searched and found this thread needing to know exactly this answer........

Jeeze, I hope you had a close look at the subframe in the light of those! The car see (seen?) ice/salty roads?

As sad as it is, I would call this "normal" for middle Europe/UK cars with salty roads in the winter.
Mine weren't much better, but my car "only" had ~120k miles. |
