Most people either love them or hate them based on the ride/feel but never heard of them doing damage so it could just be coincidence and both Diffs were already on their way out.

And that is what I am hoping for.

Yet, are these diff’s not “bullet proof”

I forgot to mention the first diff took the drivers rear wheel bearing with it…brakes are fine. Brand new Z32.

The only thing with the bushing I can see, is A; no movement and B; them being to tall or short messing with pinion angle. Although I seriously doubt that.

Leave it to me to get the most retarded problems out of cars…
