I bought this bushing Spring '17 and cut it down (piece of cake, btw) with the plan to install it as soon as the exhaust had a reason to come out.

Here we are Winter (snow coming down and nasty roads so my V is cozy in the garage anyway) and I'm in the process of installing a Magnaflow catback (picked up off local Craigslist for an irresistible price, NIB ) and figured this is THE time to do the bushing change-out.

I attacked the project yesterday.
My OEM diff bushing (AND complete new driveshaft assembly and tranny mount! :thumbsup had been replaced not TOO long ago by a previous owner (judging by it's great condition), so it took some wrestling to remove.
As stated by the OP, the replacement bushing fits right into the remaining sleeve in the diff perfectly.

I haven't had a chance to drive the car with the new bushing but I'm definitely looking forward to it!
Has to be a monumental improvement over the pathetically soft/goofy designed original bushing.

Because all four of the midpipe studs/bolts broke (imagine that, huh?) and only so much free time here with the family holiday doings in full swing, I haven't gotten the catback installed yet.
Hopefully I'll have time day after Xmas to get the broken bits removed and the catback installed.

I'll be posting my impressions as soon as weather and road conditions permit.

NO more clunk!

After I installed my Magnaflow catback today, I had to maneuver the cars around my garage to put everything back where it was when I started.
In the process of moving the V, I had the extreme pleasure of NOT hearing a clunk during all those maneuvers! Outstanding!

I cannot wait to take it for a spin and feel the difference on the road.
LOADS of salt on the roads here, though.
And it's WAY to cold (teens during the day) to be washing it if I had to.

I hate Winter.

Took it for it's first drive since the bushing install.

I do not feel or hear any more noise or vibration whatsoever being transferred into the cabin with the Energy diff bushing installed be it slow speed or highway cruising.
Even brought my brother along for his thoughts.
Nope.
No diff noise, nothing.

Clunk is gone.

This is SUCH an easy and inexpensive fix.
If you have your exhaust out for any reason? Look into changing out that bushing.

Many thanks to the OP!
