Rear Differential Bushings question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

dporter6 · 08-24-2021, 10:23 PM

Hey guys, my stock oem rear differential bushings are in need of replacing.
I am looking for like oem feel with the softer bushings to isolate and conceal the noises, As I’m very sensitive to NVH. I have the BMR -Bk029 poly & whiteline w93356 sitting in my garage. Which one would be the better option in my situation ?? I don’t have to much knowledge in this area , so your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

I have been super happy with my BMR components/bushings since 2013. But I don't have any knowledge of the Whiteline bushings (all the camaros I've been in have had OEM or BMR)

Okay good to hear. Did you ever experience any clunking sounds with them ?

I have the BMR bushings and have not had any clunking at all.

My vote is to install bushings that have perforations, especially if you’re sensitive to NVH.

no clunking at all.

Jallen32: Whiteline makes a set that I run. Very little noise over OEM and no clunks. Check out the voids in the bushings in the picture on this website:

I find this option to be a great balance between increased performance (OEM bushings are super soft and allow a ton of movement) and noise.

I have BMR bushings throughout the rear suspension. MY NVH increased about ten-fold when I installed everything at once. My rear diff howls like a mashed cat is in the back seat at certain speeds. Even when I had my stock gears, I could hear them with the BMR stuff installed.

I have BMR components and they are perfect.

Great to hear Whiteline is recommended here as well. One local guy is happy with them. We'll get be installing a set on buddy's Camaro project after it return from installation of the exhaust from 4Wheelonline.
