true, but the aftermarket bushings amplify the sound tremendously from the other threads i have been reading. Alot of guys go back to the stock diff bushings because the rear end is amplified that much

You are correct. There is a larger performance gain with sub-frame bushings than differential bushings, but the differential bushings are the noise makers.

So should we leave the diff bushings alone??? I looked at a 1LE diff from another member and it has voids like the rear upper control arms and got to wondering if the Z/28 diff bushings are solid....

Just stumbled across this thread.

I am waiting for pinion bearings to come in to resemble my diff and get my car back together. I have a set of Energy suspension red urethane bushings for rear subframe and diff. I really don't want to fill the cabin of my car with drive line howl.

I guess I'm going to not press the diff bushings out tomorrow. Unless someone here has used these bushings and can tell me they're ok?

The box is a good place for urethane differential bushings unless you are a hard core track kind of driver.
