Differential Bush removal options

ZoomZ

Hi ya Rusty,

Wouldn't the Anti-seize be detrimental to even polyurethane? I'm assuming Whiteline and SPL are both poly.

Are you worried about corrosion in the subframe or for eas of install as a lubricant?

Either way, I think White Lithium grease would be safer on the poly and still provide anti-rust properties.

The SPL bushing is solid aluminum. The Whiteline is poly. I haven't seen any reports of anti-seize being bad on poly. I use the anti-seize for installation of the bushings. I know you won't get far trying to install a bushing dry.

Right. Forgot SPL is solid Al. I would definitely use anti-seize.

I agree, you have to use something. Even Butter, if that's all you got.

After having done a few bushings. I would rather do solid bushings then poly bushings. The poly bushings like to squeeze out in the middle when pressing them in.

Are you talking just the diff or all around on suspension where rubber exists?

So my understanding with solid bushings, you will feel and hear the vibrations more pronounced? What's you experience?

The aftermarket poly diff bushings likes to squeeze out.

I really don't notice that much difference with the solid diff bushings until I installed the solid sub-frame bushings. With the rest of the SPL suspension bushings. You pick up a little bit of noise. (I have earing aids) But the suspension works so much better.
