Solid mounts for the differential... how many are there?
so, by searching I can't quite figure out what Diff mounts to buy.
when I search for delrin differential mounts, I find only stuff like this: http://www.mmr-direct.com/ and this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rx7-R...item1c1e767a71 my question is... is that all I need? isn't there another mounting point on the diff? do I need to get solid subframe mounts as well? I have delrin engine and tranny mounts already, but I have to replace the diff mounts too now because the diff shakes violently sometimes because it's mounts are so much softer than the rest of the mounts. |
Yes, those are what u need.
The diff has 3 connection points 1 front difff mount (which is poorly designed and highly stressed) and 2 rear difff mounts which you are looking to replace. You should install a pinion snubber and those mounts. If the snubber properly preloaded, the mazda comp front difff mount isn't a requirement, although it never hurts. |
ah I see now. They just don't offer the front mount in delrin.
I just ordered the rear mounts and the pinion snubber from this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/how-pinion-snubber-install-867300/ no more clunking rear end! (hopefully) |
You don't want a solid front mount! The mount needs to have some give, or it will rip off the mounting tabs on the sub frame.
Great, it well be like driving a while different car. Make sure u put enough preload on the snubber so that it is touching the diff while at rest. |

If you run a solid front diff mount you MUST run solid subframe mounts. With both mounts solid, you won't rip the tab off the subframe. |
^^ correct.
Sorry I've just seen too many broken tabs from solid mounts, that my knee jerk reaction is "no" lol |
