Default FS: New Product - Differential Bushings

This has been a quest of mine for over 1 year as these need to be replaced/upgraded in almost all Toyota mkiv supra's and Lexus SC300/400 and GS300/400 because when the very soft rubber of the stock bushings flexes under torque/load of the drive line it causes the differential to change positions and return to the normal mounting position rapidly which in turn causes dreaded driveline breaking wheel hop which is where these bushings come in to play as they replace the soft rubber stock bushings.
I was looking all over the earth for poly bushings to replace the stock ones to no avl which until now only solid aluminum bushings were avl for more than double my price and if you are like me solid bushings are just not going to cut it on a street drivin car so look no further here is your solution!!

I will say that when I installed them in my own car which is daily drivin the difference was night and day as the wheel hop is totally gone as well as a "diff clunk" I had been chasing for quite some time when taking up a drive gear from a cold start/high idle.
People often ask me how would I sum up the feel with these installed to which the best most reasonable answer I have would be... It feels like the car picked up 15whp down low in the powerband as it totally transforms the feel of the car with a much more connected feeling with out the harshness or vibration caused by that of a solid bushing.





Price for the xspsi6 poly rear differential bushings are 120.00 shipped in the USA. 15 sets available, get it while they are in supply.

There is one bushing on each side. For each bushing, is it 1 piece where you have to press it in or 2 piece?

yes, the diff does not need to be removed.

the bushings on the ears need to be chiseled out. the metal sleeve needs to be reused, and needs to be burned out of the old bushing.

the new bushings are two pieces per side. the bushings are installed like a sandwich, one on top, and one on the bottom, and the metal sleeve goes thru it.

Can you show some more pics of the install? Did you do this yourself?

I am EXTREMELY interested.

Also whats the warranty on the parts?

Are these custom made? What manufacturer?

Why'd you quote me? I knew the prices and how many were available. I asked completely different questions.
