Hi I need to change my rear diff mount as its perished and is clunking quite bad, was just wondering would you go for a genuine part or one of the allegedly up graded ones on ebay. many thanks |

Get the upgraded. The oem is a poor design, and I have even destroyed a new one under stock 185 power. The 185 and 205 one are the same. Either get a poly filled one, or a solid one. A cheaper options is also polly filling the one you have, or having a plate welded in to make it solid. I have run a solid one myself for over 10 years. |

I wouldn't advise solid as a little bit of give is a good idea. I know Mixer on here (and other forums) refurbishes broken ones by removing the old material and refilling with poly. I would expect he can use harder or softer rubber according to preference. Also worth checking what TCB have on offer. So far I've used standard ones and not had a problem, however they are expensive. |

Hi Thanks for the reply, just wanted to check that i have to drop the rear diff to get the diff mount out. If so will it slide forward enough? Many thanks |

From what I remember you don't need to undo the propshaft but the memory is hazy. just undo the 2 front bolts plus the ones in the rear mount and the diff will do forward and down enough to wiggle the mount out. |

Never done one myself, but procedure is available online... http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?s=8 ... opic=79843 Plenty of aftermarket options available (as already stated), or oem as well. hope this helps, Darryl |
