Diff bolt on the rear broke again. I had the bolt replaced once before but I think the bushings the bolt sits in is bad. I already have
Steeda Rear Differential Adjustable Bushing Insert System Urethane GT 2015-2017
in the rear but apparently there are some more bushing I need because I keep breaking this on bolt on the rear. What do I need to buy to prevent this from happening? Thanks. Picture below

I haven't broken a bolt but did break the mount points on my diff. When I upgraded to an iron housing, I also upgraded the bolts to the 12.9 kit from Steeda to avoid this happening. Stronger bolts may help but if its the bushing yielding too much then snapping back causing the bolt failure, this may not be a permanent fix.

We have just released a new kit to help with eliminating differential movement. Paired with our new threaded through bolt upgrade kit you won't have to worry about that happening.

1) IRS differential support brackets - https://www.steeda.com/Steeda-Hardc...ntial-Support-Brackets-2015-2019_p_16656.html
