Just curious if there are any solid upper rear diff mounts like where the diff brace mounts to the frame. These:

if its a stupid question i'm sorry. Just curious if there's a cheaper/better route than like 70 bucks for little pieces of rubber

    This is just an idea but I know a bunch of guys who use hockey pucks for solid motor mounts, maybe it will work for this particular part as well.

    I love hockey pucks. I always use them when jacking my cars up. And it's an old hot rodder trick for mounts.

    Seems like no one here has been so bold as to engineer a solution to your particular problem yet. I say try the pucks... look around and you may be able to find "mini" pucks, abou 2" dia instead of 3".

    A lathe might be helpful too :roll:

    Lookin forward to hearing your results!

    I'm thinking about using window weld, like they use when filling motor mounts. Because they seem wobblie no so much torn or anything. but it still causes the rear end clunk.

    I used Devcon Flexane 94 to fill those rubber mounts (part #5) as well as the one on the back of the diff (#10), and the one on the passenger side of the transmission. My other 2 motor mounts (left side and rear) are Hasport 80 durometer, and I'm not using a front mount anymore. With the RWD configuration, all my engine torquing is now left/right, not front to back.

    I'll have to look into this. Are these the pieces that if worn give you a clunk when the rear diff is under power?

    yes sir, at least thats what i can tell. I just bought window weld at autozone, filled it, i guess it takes a few days to set, so i'll leave it outta the car until then.

    A clunk? Does it hurt your diff when these go bad or just makes the "clunk"?
