View Full Version : Has anyone installed the STi rear diff mount? big sky 11-29-2002, 10:00 PM I've been wanting to do this for a while, but have yet to find anyone who has done this. Anyone? BTW, I'm talking about the "rear" rear diff bushing- a pair of bushings connected w/ a metal strap. Thanks Big Sky Imprezer 11-29-2002, 10:05 PM On what car? big sky 12-02-2002, 08:51 PM Originally posted by Imprezer On what car? GD, GG, GC- should be the same (I think). Tell me you have and are about to give a detailed account of how, complete w/ pics :). I have gathered a few bits of info- the long bolts in the rear of the diff are actually studs and will come out (someone posted he went to loosen the nuts and eneded up getting the entire studs to come out)- this means the diff won't have to go as far forward as I first thought to clear these. Thanks for any help. big sky adamsrs 12-02-2002, 08:53 PM I have heard this is a HUGE ordeal! Like a whole day to install! i may be wrong....are we talking about the bushings? adamsrs Dick Fitzwell 12-03-2002, 05:20 AM Originally posted by adamsrs I have heard this is a HUGE ordeal!

Like a whole day to install! i may be wrong....are we talking about the bushings? adamsrs There are several sets of bushings in/around the rear diff. There is the rear suspension crossmember- this is the bushing set (4) that is aluminum- this one is no doubt a mother bear as the rear diff has to be removed, the cross member removed and the bushings pressed out/in (large press- from what I hear). Then there is the "front" rear diff member bushing set (2), this also entails dropping the rear diff, removing this member and pressing out/in the bushings. The last bushing set (the one I'm inquiring about) is the "rear" rear diff bushing set (2 rubber busdhings connected by a metal strap) o====o. This one may (I stress may) be able to be accomplished w/o completely dropping the rear diff and requires no pressing out/in of bushings- you replace the entire piece. big sky big sky 12-22-2002, 02:03 PM Well I've got one coming from AVSports, so I guess I'll figure out how to install. Will post results. big sky |
