BMR CB005 issue

[MrWolf]

5 now......

I also have some NVH..... I fitted the kit with the Steeda alignment bushes....

I think I'm going to remove it:( leave the bushes in and go back to standard..

That's interesting Enoch, I remember reading Gibbo saying he got a little NVH from the fitting of the differential bushes, but none on the CB005. He did however comment how easy it was to install the CB005 kit and didn't sound like he had the same issues many others on here had.

Getting my bushes and kit fitted next week so fingers crossed I don't get the same issues (or if I do, so
small that I wouldn't care about the increase in NVH)

I have the CB005 and ZERO NVH.

For those that do have any NVH or substantial fitment issues, look for this.

Seen this a few times. Where the welds on the Cradle are larger or positioned in a different location....causing the upper ring not to sit properly.

Not a whole lot we can do about sloppy OEM tolerances unfortunately.

The "gap" people are getting, is specifically due to the tolerances of these cars. We fit them to like 10 cars and they fit great....and do not even mirror each other. LOL

Removed my diff inserts today......vibration has gone

The Steeda inserts?

The Steeda inserts?

Yes.... I fitted the red ones at the same time as the BMR lockdown kit....

If you're looking for no NVH you can do the diff bushings or the cradle lockout. It seems like people only notice a real difference once they do both.

I have the red steeda diff inserts and the BMR cradle lockout and it's only noticeably louder than my MBRP Street exhaust when under heavy load at lower RPM such as going up steep hill. Even that isn't for a long time because it's basically a sign to downshift.

My passenger side was also off about an 1/8th-1/4 inch. I just tightened that bitch down anyway and it pulled up to the car. No issue

This is very interesting. CB005 in my stock 2016 GTPP created a lot of road noise and some vibration (enough to make the rear view mirror a blur at 60 mph). Maybe this is the problem . . .

Copy of the post I put in the UK section:-

Took a day off from work to take a drive through the Cotwolds. Not even the drizzly rain could put a damper on the day.

While there, popped into Modurstang and had these bad boys fitted:-

Some Steeda differential bushes

And a set of BMR CB005 cradle lockout kit

Thanks to the guys at Modurstang. Even though one of the Steeda bushes didn't want to play ball, the persisted and did a great job.

First impressions from the drive back is that I didn't actually hear any additional NVH or vibration. Maybe I'm not very sensitive to this sort of thing, but I couldn't really tell.

The floatyness of the rear end has defo reduced. Couldn't really give it much beans from a standstill as the roads were still damp and greasy from shite weather.

If anyone is on the fence with fitting both of these, then based on my small run, I would say don't be. Just be sure it's fitted correctly and I believe it will be fine.

Go for it and enjoy.

Let me guess, drivers side front. If I hadn't had my whole cradle loose I would have never gotten that one in.

Passenger side front (drivers side for you guys)

The CB005 is NOT the issue with the rear view blur...I haven't installed my CB005 and the rear view still blurs. The actual mount of the rear view is not stable enough to keep it steady. I haven't had time to try some things with it to try and stable it up but it hasn't been too big of an issue...

Ya, I was following it for a bit but I am not too worried. The mirror is still an issue. If you hold it, the rear view actually clears up the blur so the mount is still an issue. The driveshaft I am not worried about because I am planning to change it out sometime this year anyway. I don't really notice any vicious vibration that would cause me to feel concerned about it either. I do not think the dealer would think anything is wrong with it if I was to take it in.
