Energy suspension differential bushings thud
 
So last weekend my rear dif bushing went out and I decided to get energy suspension differential bushings. After a few days or so now I'm experiencing a thud from the rear end anytime I put any torque on the rear dif. If this is the way it's going to be with these bushing then that's nonsense. It doesn't sound well at all and is very annoying to hear a thud throughout my car every time I shift gears up or apply throttle. Has anybody experienced this and how do whiteline bushings compare quality and performance wise.

They're poly, right? Whiteline definitely don't do that. But I haven't heard anyone complain of Energy diff bushings doing that. I would be tempted to take it back to the shop for another look. If they say that's normal, take it to a competent shop for a second opinion.

Install issue or a one off product defect?

I just took a video under my car while I went forward and backwards. There's play in my front bushings. To be continued....

Sounds like an install or product issue..I have whiteline and they are quiet.

So what happened was the bushings must have settled more from the heat and such and we had to retighten them after 100 miles of driving or so which we did not read from anywhere. Everything feels great again. We shall see if it remains that way because I'm getting ECUtek tuned tomorrow =D
