Great work WD! That’s the way I would have wanted to do mine if I were putting nuts on them. You’re going with a 4.09 year right?

Yes, I’ve got 4.09’s and a Torsen to go in

I’m not sure if you know, but all euro’s regardless of spec (GT, Mach, M6, A10 etc) come as standard with a 3.55 track loc.

that's weird. do they all get the aluminum pumpkin too? this car is wild with just 3.73's, i can't imagine 4.09's lol

Interesting read. Definitely it makes sense that stiffer bushings in the rear will take some of the load off the front bushings and help to reduce the movement in the front while keeping NVH down somewhat compared to replacing both front and rear with stiff bushings.

I believe all the V8’s get an iron pumpkin (at least mine has).

I have seen ally pumpkins for sale at U.K. salvage yards, but I’m not totally sure if they have come from auto’s, or from EB’s (before they discontinued them over here)

Forgot to post, but here's my long install video (10 minutes)

Update: i think its been about 5000 miles with just the rear diff bushings installed (fronts are untouched). while installing a bunch of parts this weekend i inspected the fronts.

they're 100% perfect.

so if you want to make that pumpkin quit moving so much and don't want the added NVH at speed of the full kit (from the pinion bearing noise being transmitted by the stiffer front bushings) just do the rears.

don't worry, you haven't upset anyone.

again, here is the inventor of that kit and owner of that company is here in living color explaining how and why you are wrong:



but feel free to be a pedantic troll in lieu of actually thinking. free country.

FYI he never said to only install the rear kit. He is installing a bearing in this video

FYI nobody said he did.

BTW 10K miles with this setup and the car is amazing still. NO NVH. front bushings look perfect.
zero wheel hop, still, and I couldn't be happier knowing I don't have to worry about shit breaking on me.

I just installed the BMR IRS subframe support system and the rear is even better.
absolutely rock solid. no squishiness at all and I didn't sacrifice any comfort at all. its pretty incredible.

Just making sure future member's don't get confused and take the lazy way out using bad information like you did

okay, well you can be retarded and stuff while pretending like this better way that gets all the upsides with none of the downsides is "lazy" cause you missed the point.

meanwhile, i'll be over here enjoying my awesome car.

k thnx bye
