i have installed SPL soild diff bushing... but i cant get the 2 bolts that go into the subframe to line up. the part of the bushing that faces the front of the car is flush to the subframe. im not sure if i have to push it in more or if im dumb and missing something

 

How much more do you need? Is the diff bushing facing the right direction? Can you upload some pics?

 

I'm sure you'll eventally figure it out. It's not that complicated

 

I had this happen also when i did my diff busing, i didn't have my bushing sit flush with the subframe. After some adjustment with the bushing, everything lined up. Best of luck to ya.

 

 

Is that a solid or polyurethane. Looks like the old sleeve needs to be removed. it's not letting it seat right. I will check it out and get back to you .

 

The third pic you posted with the part of some missing paint is the sleeve. Does not look like it comes off but it does. Maybe this helps

 

 

there solid

 

I actually hammer the bushing twords the back of the car more. I don’t think it matters the paint coming off, the bushing isn’t cold anymore so I kinda expect to lose some paint

 

I did removed the metal ring or sleeve from the car with the z1 removal tool

 

Yup sleeve has to come out. Sawall is the easiest way. You can also use a chisel



hope that helps

 

my sleeve is already out of the subframe

 

Yea just saw that takes a while to load. I'm not sure. Is the metal flared out where the bushing is supposed to go?

 

If it where me I would remove it again and lightly sand the rim where it slides in. Looks like it still has a way to go but some metal may be getting in the way
