Upgraded Mounts/Bushing

MOBF10 · 04-17-2019, 06:16 PM

So dealer shit me with $2500 quote from my motor mounts and my rear diff bushing being shot. Apparently the rear diff mount is very common to fail early. Obviously I dont want to replace it with another oem bushing then. Anyone know if our chassis has aftermarket options out? I havent seen much online.

For what vehicle?

If it is a 535i my mechanic replaced mine some 6k miles ago with a OEM bushing as there were no aftermarket bushings for the n55 f10 available then. While I was getting my rear diff replaced I also had my mechanic check out other components and found the rear guibo to be cracked. So, make sure to check that as well.

looking for the same. End result i might have to make a solid mount using poluutrtheane like i did the transfer case mount.

Yeah I definitely dont want to go oem with these parts again because of how they failed so quickly. If anyone has any leads on replacements let us know.

So why are you replacing your diff?
