Upgrade Your NC Miata Differential with Polyurethane Bushings!

[@keithwhtan]

I've had a pair of super pro differential bushings sitting in my to-do bin for years. Your video just inspired me to start installing them on the old differential hanger. And thanks for the great idea of putting the bushings in the freezer first! Many thanks again for this video.

I did my diff bushings + LSD a few months ago. Definitely noticed a bit more NVH afterwards but nothing I couldn't put up with. Also when you're actually swapping the diff, drain the old diff first or you'll end up smelling like gear oil for a while lol. When I did mine I left the axles in the hub and took all the joints apart from there too so it wouldn't change the alignment. Really not too bad of a job.

Very informative, can’t wait for the follow up video.

From where did you order the lsd, there wasn't a video on the top right

It is a diff mount. Looks good. Will have to get myself some bushings.

Definitely interested to see the process of swapping the diff. I've got bushings on the shelf in my garage bc my FX-350 clutch chattering beat the living shit out of the stock ones.

1:05 Diff carrier is what I'd call it

Are you able to tell us the torque specs

[@streetcodeonly]

Any intention to paint the differential? Yours doesn’t look too bad to be fair but wondered how difficult it would be with all the hard to reach crevices.

Check out my latest differential video! It looks brand new

Hey I've been watching your videos for many years, and a recurring thought when watching them is that you need to invest in some better tools. I know you're not a mechanic, and that's fine, but this job would have been so much easier if you took the bracket off the diff and put it in a bench vise. ( I couldn't see one in your garage) Chasing the diff around the garage floor didn't look good but more importantly, you could have done a much better job, in half the time and with way less strain on your body. I don't know how anyone can work in a garage without a bench vise. Ps. This was not meant to be criticism but a suggestion to make your life a whole lot easier.

I had a bench vise in my old garage and haven't bought a new one yet. Otherwise, this was pretty easy to do without one to be honest.
