BH diff bushes - wheres the best place to get em?

[gazzy2000]

is subaru the best option? or the likes of BnT?

[Scoobydoo]

Yeah Subaru would be an obvious choice, but if you wanted to get some nolathane ones, then perhaps BNT, or a local Autolign if there's one where you live.

[Guest boostin]

Take the old ones in if possible, but otherwise take measurements. BG diff bushes look very similar but are a few mm smaller diameter.

Just get some nolathane. They aren't that more expensive than subaru ones. I got mine for $140, whereas the subaru's for bout $120. Take the old ones when getting the new ones, so you don't have to replace them twice like I did.

[Treecrusher]

Don't think you can get nolathane ones. When I did mine I went to repco and they looked up the nolathane supplier and said they didn't make them (although that could have been the repco boy no tknowing what he was doing).

I just got genuine ones, they were pretty cheap from memory.

You sure can get them. I've just put them on my car bout couple months ago -bought them from autolign-

This page shows you all the bushes that are available. Can B42000 identify which ones they are?

[B4 2000]

I'll get you the part number when I get back to Christchurch as there are two or three different diff bushes available.

Bloody repco

gebeez those diff front cross member bolts are tight. (on a BH)

the ones that go onto the chasis (not the diff itself) the ones that allows the diff to be dropped

think i popped a blood vessle lol, still aint gor them off

[gazzy2000]

fark me.. what a day (had it off work)

those bushes come out ... yea sure, try gettin them back in! ya cant hit em too hard either.

Went to subaru, they said.."yea nup, drop the sub frame mate" i thought 'fark off' so i went to an engineers and got a heap of thick as fuk washers, the right lenght bolt and made a mini press tp pull the suckers in. that worked a treat but not before i had tried everything else under the sun lol.

So took way longer that i thought

plus parts what was the cost all up?

[Carbon]

From memory about $320-340

Found someone who had the tool and wasnt going to drop the subframe. Bushes about 80 I think?

yea, well if had of known it was ganna be that much of a A-hole, i'd pay someone that much to do it too, so theres yr answer plox... find someone that has the/a tool, if they start talking about dropping the sub frame tell them to stick it

[Guest boostin]

The last time I had a subframe out I pressed the bushes out. The subframe bent. Lucky it was already destined for the scrap metal due to corrosion!!

[gazzy2000]

just went for a 45min 100kph drive to test the center diff etc.

the car feels more positive on the road with the the diff bushes done, so thats good,

But the best thing is no more C/diff probs!! that was a $50 STI gear box off trade me with 1st gear gone, just used the transfer case, rear housing and c/diff

Used multitrax oil GL5 from subaru
