Let me know if you feel the tail-wiggling symptoms.

I would say it's your combination of tires. Not the diff.

Almost be like removing differential drain & fill plugs...then pumping grease in diff from bottom until it escapes from ck. port???
If you don’t have proper tools/skills,,,I’m sure there are members on forum who would lend a hand to perform proper fix.

I have Eastwest coming to the house to change his diff bushing. He wants me to install the SPL bushing with the Z1 cover.

Nah mate. I loosened the 4 points and removed “w-brace” fitted the collars and torqued it all back up in about half hour. I did it at the point in time mentioned. Definitely recommend while you’ve got the back end apart. I also threw my VLSD in the bin at the same time

I've read where a couple of people had a hard time getting the aluminum bushing insert into the oem rubber bushing. If it went that quick for you, then good.

Really? All mine just dropped snug in place. The lower pieces at the rear of the car needed a tap with a small dead blow and some light lube but went in fine.

The one guy who pm. ed me was having troubles. Told him to spray some lube in the bushing and on the insert.

So out of the Whiteline or the Z1 set of rear diff bushings which ones are the least noisy? And which are easier to install?

z1 poly do not noticeably increase sound or vibration. I can't speak for whiteline.

I have installed 2 SPL bushing kits and JL's Z1 poly bushing kit. The SPL diff bushing was easier to install. There really isn't much difference in noise and vibration between the SPL and the Z1 bushing kits.
