Default Rear Diff Bushings

Anyone know what are they called or where can i get those similar purple bushings on the rear diff?



tried whiteline but nothing on catalogue, had a look at beatrush and they had some pricey diff member support bar.



Hope you guys can recommend a thing or 2 on where i can get those bushings and it must be suitable on a GC8 rear diff frame.

cheerios

Superpro do them, as do TIC and there is a GrpN variant. I was thinking about getting the guys at work to do me some solid ones. Groupbuy?

It came to my concern that solid mounts might render premature chassis wear? Contradicting here as whiteline also states that chassis stiffness is never enough. Taken from whiteline themselves. How do u judge if your chassis is worn?? The only time i think it's "worn" is if something knock right up your rear and bend the shit out of the frame.

Back on topic, Hey matt are you referring to the differential support bracket mount kit from superpro??
And they look like these?

you are better off updating the rear crossmember to a gd one, and using a group n rear diff mount too (if you want).

the rubber bushes are spaced much further apart and will take the load much better, they will be under much less of a twisting load because of the extra distance between them.

the only downside to the crossmember change is that the exhaust mount on the crossmember is positioned differently and a mod will need to be done to align it.

the mod can be done to either exhaust mount (the one on the crossmember, or the corresponding one on the exhaust).
