Stock rubber differential mount bushings on the E8X and E9X platform are prone to deformation under load, introducing vague rear axle feedback, unstable handling during throttle transitions, and inconsistent power delivery. While polyurethane and solid bushing alternatives address the deformation issue, they typically come with complicated installation procedures and a significant increase in NVH. This billet aluminum differential mount insert kit offers an innovative alternative — precision-engineered inserts that fill the factory bracket gap exactly, suppressing differential displacement and restoring linear throttle response without the installation complexity or NVH penalties of conventional bushing upgrades.
Features:
- Precision reinforcement design fills the factory differential bracket gap exactly – suppresses differential displacement for more stable and predictable rear axle behaviour
- CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum for high dimensional accuracy, strength, and a perfect fit within the factory mounting location
- Hard-anodized surface finish for full rust and corrosion resistance in underbody conditions
- Optimises shift smoothness and maintains linear throttle response by eliminating unwanted differential movement under load
- Low NVH impact – addresses the core handling shortfall of worn rubber bushings without the harshness associated with solid or polyurethane alternatives

Contents:
- 1x Rear Differential Mount Insert Kit
- All necessary mounting hardware included
Benefits:
- Eliminates vague rear axle feedback and handling instability caused by deformed factory rubber differential mount bushings
- Restores linear throttle response and predictable rear end behaviour during acceleration and deceleration
- Low NVH impact makes this a practical upgrade for daily driven vehicles as well as track and performance builds
- CNC-machined billet aluminum construction provides a significant durability advantage over the factory rubber bushings
- Precision insert design avoids the complex installation process associated with polyurethane or solid bushing replacements
Installation Notes:
- Inserts are designed to fill the factory differential bracket gap – no drilling or permanent modification required
