Differential Mounts / Bushings

Differential mounts, also known as differential bushings, are crucial components in a car's drivetrain system that help secure & support the differential assembly. These mounts are typically made of rubber or polyurethane & are strategically placed to absorb vibrations, reduce noise, & provide stability to the differential. They are located between the differential housing & the vehicle's chassis or subframe. Differential mounts not only help to dampen vibrations & noise generated by the differential, but they also play a role in maintaining proper alignment & positioning of the differential within the vehicle. Over time, the rubber or polyurethane material of the mounts can wear out or deteriorate, leading to increased drivetrain noise, excessive vibrations, & potential misalignment of the differential. Regular inspection of the differential mounts for signs of wear, cracking, or sagging is important to ensure their integrity & performance. If any issues are detected, replacing the worn or damaged mounts with new ones is necessary to restore proper operation & reduce stress on the differential & drivetrain components. Upgraded performance mounts made from stiffer materials, such as polyurethane, are available for those seeking improved stability & reduced drivetrain movement in high-performance or heavy-duty applications. Proper care & maintenance of the differential mounts contribute to a smooth & controlled driving experience, as well as the overall longevity of the drivetrain system.
