Mazdatrix. Easiest way is to drop the whole rear subframe, though some say it's not necessary.

What he said. But you might want to try getting a competition mount from mazdacomp or mazdaformance.

I got all three, only because after dropping that @#$% subframe, I wasnt about to risk another bad diff mount.

And for the love of god, GET THE COMPETITION ONE!!!

Usually a nice thud sound from the underside of the car in the rear. This is your diff slapping the bottom of the car when you accelerate. It's very noticeable under heavy acceleration from stand still and the 1-2 shift. You can also get it to bump when you transition between on and off throttle.

oh ok thanks chris, I'm having some sort of problem with the rear of the car, not sure if its diff or bushings or just crapped out suspension. But what you explained really isn't my symptom so I'll check my bushings and stuff.

Thanks,
Aaron
