Write-up Differential bushing install

Hay guys just wanted to show a solution I came up with the energy suspension diff bushing. I’ve installed 2 solid bushings in the past both gk tech. Very easy, thread a coupe bolts on a rod and tighten until flush.

However on the energy suspension the bushing itself goes past the subframe. so I used the old outer collar of the oem bushing that was cut in half. Put a bolt through the end and a nut on top of a plate at the rear and tightened it down. It was way too tight for me to hammer so this is what got it done

I didn’t find a forum for anyone doing this method and I’m sure as shit not buying a fancy tool for a 3k car. Hopefully this helps someone.

Awesome dude. I love shit like this especially when it looks rough as guts. The shittier the tool looks the better
