I don't think I installed this right.

Installing the differential, it looked like this was supposed to be on the bottom. But it doesn't look right.



And also the motor mount...
Installing this I think it should have one of these cup things on both sides. But I only took one off. Should I install one on the other side too?
sorry for the pic. I couldn't get a good one of the installed mounts.

the diff bottom mount thing is upside down

The cup for the engine mount should be on both sides. I think they are to protect the rubber in the mount, not sure.

upside down meaning it should be on top and flipped over? if I only flip it over then those rubber nubs don't do anything.

Your diff mount is installed correctly. Either that or mine were installed wrong from the factory.

The motor mount cup is a protector. Install it or leave it out. Its up to you.

Ive always been under the impression that the the lip on the diff mount bushing should be under the housing so to prevent it from falling out of the housing???

Thanks guys. I was worried I would have to get this motor out again to put in the cup. i think I'll just leave it off.
