I've been working on my car now that it's warm enough to be outside for more than 5 minutes, and while installing the Lethal Extreme Through Bolt kit on stock bushings (hoping to prevent damage to the stock bushings) I noticed a nice tear in the driver side rear differential bushing.
At this point, I'm trying to figure out what my best option will be for a mainly street car, with some upcoming track time. I'm trying to maintain closer to stock NVH levels.
I found a Superpro poly/hybrid bushing replacement (TRC4758) which looks enticing, but I've read conflicting things about solid poly bushings in this spot. I'm definitely not doing solid aluminum.
Another poly option is the lockout puck-style inserts. I've been reading that the Steeda red kit is the quietest, but the question is are they safe to run over a torn stock bushing?
I'm also thinking about getting a new subframe crossmember from Ford to keep the stock levels of NVH, but upgrading the hardware with sleeves in the rear bushings so there's no slop.
What are your thoughts?
