Ok wasn't sure where to put this thought I read somewhere on the forums that somebody had a similar problem without diff bushings.
I have 2015 GT with an auto. I can hear a clunking sound coming from the driveshaft/differential. To me it sounds like the differential has too much backlash or its a ujoint angle issue.
I didn't have the car very long before I installed steeda's differential bushings, subframe spacers, and IRS supports. Although the noise became immediately noticeable after the install. I have double and triple check every bolt I have touched and torqued to proper specs.
Its not that big of a deal but also can be annoying when driving in stop and go traffic. I notice it when I first accelerate and when I first let off the gas. You can hear the clunk and feel something moving slightly. So it seem like the obvious cause would be the diff bushings but I really don't really see how they can move. The clunk is more active and noticeable if I put the car in neutral before coming to a slow and steady stop. Also I can create the clunk while parked shifting from drive to reverse which make me think it more in the driveline than the diff bushings. My hunch is its the rear ujoint hopping around or the backlash in the rear end.
Anybody else have diff bushings installed? Do you have this issue? I have the steeda black bushings installed. I'm thinking about uninstalling the diff bushings and seeing if it persist but thought I would check with you guys before I go through the hassle.
