Softest / most compliant rear diff bushing?

[Panici]

Looking at rear diff bushings, and I was planning on OEM rubber.

Pelican has bad customer reviews for the Rubber Corteco bushing, two saying it is too large.

The outside diameter was .060" too large

The BMW bushing is listed at $72USD, pretty steep.


I want something comfortable for my restomod. I'm going rubber with all the other bushings.
Any suggestions for something aftermarket? Maybe a low durometer poly bushing?


Also, I should mention i'm willing to trade a little comfort for less wheel hop.

The Cortecos I've installed have been fine, and should be the softest bushing available.

I've installed Lemforders in 2 cars and they are great.

How long ago did you use them? Maybe they had a bad batch or their quality has gone downhill recently?

I'm not sure Lemforder makes a rear diff bushing right now. At least Pelican didn't have them listed.

Sorry. I was thinking subframe. I did a corteco for the diff and in 20k I have nothing good or bad to say about it....which I guess is good.

I did have my machinist press it in though.
