diff cover mount bushing?

Did you loosen the diff to subframe bolts?

how about the brackets that hold the main subframe bolts on? did you put those washers/spacers between the brackets and the subframe bushings?

I was also going to suggest diff mounting.

I dunno if the e30's had the same issue but with e36s it was common for the diff bolt mounting bolt to break.

yeah, #12. it's not really a washer, but I couldn't think of a better word for it.

did you use ix subframe bushings or RWD?

[2002tiiguy]

i put oem bushings in
(ix oem)

I was chasing a rear end clunk on my first e30 for months.....ended up being a missing hubcentric ring on aftermarket wheels. I'm sure this isn't ur issue but just thought I'd add that sometimes ppl overlook the easy stuff
