people runnig z32 diff's help me out - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

doitsidewayz · 07-13-2012, 03:24 PM

installed my z32 diff last night. pretty easy no big deal. used j30 axles. and used the j30 axle bolts.(from diff to axle bolts). used the s14 drive shaft bolts ( diff to drive shaft bolts). okay today after driving it i noticed at low RPM when i accelerate i hear a clunk. i checked all the bolts. diff to axle, diff to drive shaft and axle nut bolts. they all are nice and tight. i did notice the bolts that go where the diff has the bushing seemed to go all the way up. there is a little gap in between. i tried tightening them but that's as far as they would go. any ideas...?

How do your Diff bushing look??

Usually when the diff bushings are shot, you'll get that clunking noise do to the slack given within the bushing.

if it's not the bushings (which it probably is), it could be too much backlash between the ring & pinion gear inside the diff

Had 2 of my friends do basically everything for me....something on those picture's just looks like its not just the the bushing..But than again. The aluminum solid ones look like they will do the job

OutToWinPAHC · 07-15-2012, 08:58 AM

Where is the isolator bushing?

doitsidewayz · 07-15-2012, 09:14 AM

The one on top?
Idk man had 2 friends help me out..they did most of the job

and yeah..I knew something was not right. I went over every bolt and made sure they where tight but never checked the bushing.

ixfxi · 07-15-2012, 11:00 AM

yup... you need to fix that, bud

jr_ss · 07-15-2012, 11:22 AM

Should be a bushing up top...

omgRWDgoodness! · 07-15-2012, 11:36 AM

It's the rubber bushings for sure. You can use the ones from your stock diff, just take a knife or file or something and whittle them down until they can squeeze into the Z32's.

doitsidewayz · 07-15-2012, 11:41 AM

I will. I'm about to ordered the solid aluminum bushing's

doitsidewayz · 07-15-2012, 12:31 PM

Okay. Energy suspension polyurthane or Spl pro Solid diff bushing?
Price don't matter just want the best lol

SupaDoopa · 07-16-2012, 02:00 AM

ixfxi · 07-16-2012, 08:12 AM
