Hendrix Offset Bushings On Stock Height Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Gents,

I'm installing 3.91 gears soon. Since I'll have the diff pulled anyway, I thought I'd go ahead and upgrade the bushings.

I know the Hendrix offset bushings help reduce axle angles on lowered cars, but here's my questions:

Is there a benefit to installing them on a car that has not been lowered?
Would y'all install them on a stock height car, or would I be better off choosing a different option?
If not offset, what bushings would y'all recommend?

Thanks for the help guys.

I had Bmr originally and have Hendrix ones. The Hendrix’s ride rougher and no gain. After buying them I found out how big of a scam artist and liar Hendrix is. He still owes me money! I like the bmrs bettter. He told us he designed the street slayer clutch. And he didnt know what parts to use. Yes he owes money because Carolina clutches refunded him money for me and he choosed not to

I have the Hendrix. My car is lowered. I did the cradle and diff bushings together. Car did seem alot tighter afterwards but there is more road noise. I did go 1.89 60 foots on street tires. So I would say they worked and I can live with the noise.

Have you tried any others to compare them with?

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get it sorted out.

I think extra noise would bother the crap out of me. After some extensive reading on here, I think I'm going to stick with the stock diff bushings. My goal is only around 475 - 500 RWHP; so I think the stock diff bushings will hold up fine and transmit less noise. If they wear out on me, then I'll upgrade.

Since I am replacing the stock rear diff cover with an LPW, I am going to have to get a new bushing for the new diff cover. Since I already know that I will be sensitive to gear noise, I went ahead and ordered some Whiteline bushings, part # W93167.

The plan is to only replace the rear bushing with the Whiteline, but if the other 2 OEM bushings look worn when I pull the diff, I'll go ahead and replace them with the Whitelines. Although, talking through it now, it might make sense to go ahead and replace them all with the Whitelines. What do you guys think?

It just depends on how sensitive you are about the noise. I have the Hendrix offset bushings and didn't notice a big difference in noise but my car already had several stiffer mounts and bushings.

From a performance standpoint, replacing the bushings at the front of the differential will help limit how much it rotates when you are on and off the power.

My car is a 2014 with 76K miles and the original bushings were really showing their age.
