Yeah thats so funny.....
It would help if i could understand what your trying to say?? :? :?


Steve has had a locally-fabricated facsimile of this:

...which is a brace which reinforces the diff to reduce axle tramp and improve diff location. The original is made in Japan by a company called Beatrush (not "bushrush" :) ) and the original has poly bushes to isolate diff NVH from being transmitted to the chassis, however Steve's locally-fabbed version has solid mounts, a state of affairs which he considers hardcore and which causes him to laugh out loud.

Noise, Vibration, Harshness stan :wink: ........means with no bushing between the diff & that brace, steve gets to enjoy every little noise that driveline has to offer reverberating thru the cabin, he has no need of a stereo, he wouldn't hear the bastard anyway :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

This is the one you need to install prior to getting their butterfly brace right? I've read good things about them on the big forum, expecially when you add the butterfly.
