Good point! I mean the crazy thing is if the factory’s are shot the solution are these pucks so it’s a damed if you do or if you don’t situation. I’m going to remove the rear and see what happens. If I can get rid of the NVH at a red light I’ll be happy. I don’t care about hearing it when I shift gears.
Did you use the full bushings or just the piggyback inserts?
I used what Steeda had to offer to help stop the wheel hop. It’s an insert that works with the existing bushing with a new bolt. I’m not really familiar with what full bushing you might be referring to.
if they are torn, the only other option would be to drop the cradle, remove the entire bushing and go with something like this.
The second link won’t load but I don’t see how the BMR kit is any different then the Steeda one and if that’s the case I’m in the same situation. I think your sacrificing performance for daily drivability in the end and then that comes down to personal preference. I’m just really not a fan of the NVH at a red light or while driving at low speeds. If I would have know that was so predominant I wouldn’t have gotten them.
If your getting NVH a slow speeds or at a STOP, it’s not the inserts……
On 1.1 ~1.2 60' as well !
Yes and no leaking all is good there. All the noise immediately started after the alignment kit and bushing inserts and from what I’ve read I’m not the only one who’s had this issue. It’s definitely the bushing inserts and Steeda to a lesser degree admits this.
I respectfully disagree because they started immediately after they were installed and Steeda said this has a tendency to happen with certain cars.
How can differential mount inserts give you NVH while stopped????? Or speeds under 30mph? You have other issues.
So why does Steeda acknowledge that’s a possibility? Why didn’t I have that issue prior to the inserts and why is there a whole thread, which I attached to my last replay dedicated to that exact issue? Check my signature man I have every IRS Steeda product possible I believe and this only started after the diff bushing inserts and Steeda acknowledged on the phone with me this is a possibility. Listen she says it best and Steeda says the same with their kits depending on the car. This is about the BMR kit but the Steeda one is the same.
I understand all this, but how do you get NVH while stopped when your differential is completely stationary????
I’m not an engineer man so I don’t know but I hear the irs rattling with the stiffer diff bushings, or the gears grinding. I’m going off what other have reported because I have no idea what happened but I know what I hear and it’s annoying for a daily driver. I posted that other tread. It’s been experienced by others and it’s really disappointing because the car drives great with them in but the noise is too much for me. It’s noticeable at gear change, low speeds and when I’m at a stop and lifting my foot off the break. It is what it is and it was never there before. Not a fan and I’ll be removing them.
