    Cracked Diff Mount Replacement

    Hey guys,

    I've got a cracked diff mount, and I'll need to order a replacement in for it.

    I'm looking at polyurethane bushes right now, problem is I've seen some good and average reviews about them.

    I'm thinking either Powerflex Yellow or Powerflex Black, and leaning towards Black since they're apparently made 25% stiffer.

    The car will be a daily driver, not taken to track; an e30 318i.

    Thanks!

    Why do u want a stiff poly mount on a street car? Just order the z3 mcoupe bushing, it's rubber and more beefy than the e30 bushing.

      The only z3 bushing I can find near me is $230..

      Whereas the powerflex yellow is $40 odd.

      I wouldn't be so stingy if I didn't have a list of things still to get to on the e30.

        Uh...

        Edit: Just noticed you are in Australia. Not sure if BMA will ship there, but you might email them and find out.

        Either way, I would definitely go softer rather then stiffer if this is a daily. No benefit to going with a hard one.

          I'll chuck them an email.

          I guess another two options I have are (more expensive):
