I may get a set from BMR and try them they look a little diffrent and may isolate the noise better?

I've got the BMR trailing arms and bushings on order. Should have them inhand Monday or Tuesday. I plan to put them in Thursday or Friday. I'll post a response by this weekend to let you all know the outcome.

Currently I have no whine or noises that have my "feelers up". All is normal.

Put my trailing arms on today... see link in my sig for help! I havent driven it yet to see if the whine is worse...

Also, the "bushings" you speak of... are they the differential mount bushings or the outer trailing arm bushings? If you just order the trailing arms, you keep the OEM rubber bushings, you have to order the outer bushings seperate. Just wondering what bushings your talking about...

Right, the question about the bushings was for jarhead. I know what you have. He speaks of trailing arms and bushings and am curious what bushings he means.

I have the 3 Pfadt diff bushings and the whine you have also.

Oh, no worries.. BTW do you have factory 3.45s whinning?

mtcwby · 03-14-2010, 07:30 PM

I've got the BMR trailing arms and Pfadt Diff bushings, and have no whine what so ever. There is absolutely no difference in sound or ride from OEM, I'm very happy with my bushings.
Now that being said, I installed the Pfadt Engine mounts, and there is definitely vibration coming through the pedals and steering wheel that wasn't there before. It settled down a bit after a thousand miles or so, but still noticeable. But it is the price you pay for performance. Now that I'm used to it I don't notice it much anymore.

yes factory gears

IROCanSS · 03-14-2010, 09:30 PM

This is interesting... factory gears and noise, factory gears and no noise but vibrations, 4.10s and noise, hurst is noisy...

I am not sure these cars like to be modded...

BUT I sure like modding it...

I think I am just going to drive it. Since I was the very first set of 4.10s on the street and I notified the shop of the whine, I am not going to worry about it. They said that if there is an issue they will get me a new set. As of now I am not going to take them up on it...

Got the trailing arms and toe bars greased this evening, looking forward to driving it tomorrow!

Honestly the whine on mine is becouae the ring and pinion lash was not set correctly at the factory,same with yours I would make them set it back up correctly.I will live with mine or go with a diffrent gear set.

Your right, as of now they are not available.........but the G8 diff bushings are
