I have a customer that purchased a 2010 camaro and he wants the car quieter inside. One of the things he wants me to change are the solid rear cradle bushings. I have removed the bushings and I’m not sure of the brand. They came out pretty hard so there are some gouges from having to use a chisel but I don’t think their integrity has been impacted. They will need a little grinder work to clean up a few spots. I’m willing to trade the solid bushings for the stock bushing washers or cups so I can install the polyurethane bushings he has. I can send pictures if you’re interested.

The BMR Poly bushings install in the hole by themselves, larger one on top, smaller
on the bottom. The only parts you need are the bottom metal washers from the original
factory bushings.

Exactly, those are what I need. This car had solid bushings installed when my customer bought it so there are no bottom metal washers. I need the metal washers.

Those rear cradle bushing do not cause any noise I’d look at the diff or something else for the source of the noise.

You may want to confirm that there aren't any bearing problems with the rear axles. I didn't find the solid bushings made a noise difference when I first installed them, but a wheel bearing going out, that didn't show up any other way, made it sound like the rear diff was eating itself.

I saw the same thing. I put them in and got all kinds of vibration and it was a bad hub/bearing.

Thanks for the suggestions about noise. I have solid bushings in my personal car and the road noise increased a little but I expected it. The chip seal roads here are loud to begin with. This is for a customer and he wants the neoprene bushings
