Is this whats causing my car to vibrate while driving, note that mechanic already replaced cardan shaft as well as a cross

You could have used a wire brush on a drill first.

You should say you better damn well make sure that bushing will fit in that one press sleeve and the other one does not get stuck in that flange

Robert Threm says:

Did you see the after market . They are neoprene without that outside metal jacket on it so you just push them in by hand

So not an expert but what would be a symptom for the differential bushing being cracked. As I can hear a clank noise when I reverse but only when I lift off the brake, on a auto e46. I am wondering if it is the diff bushings.

Great job. Very helpful video. Do you think that Astro kit will work better? I decided to buy one just now.

Rui Araújo says:

Is it necessary to take the differential off to change this part?

Jargo Bordine says:

I’m always years out in posting questions! Did you remove the differential? And what’s the difference between poly bushings and the OEM rubber bushings?

Is this a diff Bush replacement? I'm confused
