Thank you very much for this video. I have the ruptured rear differential bushing after 89K miles on my 08, Coupe, Journey w/5AT. I had already purchased the Whiteline bushings to make the repair. After watching your video, I'm leaning towards this fix as well as replacing the front bushings of the differential. Your video at the 3:50 mark shows movement on the front differential bushing after the fix that the new Whiteline bushings could help stiffen up. Open to anyones thoughts/ideas.
