Rear Diff Bush Installation

[audiman]

but SQ mount setup is much better and well worth doing IMO. As for the rear diff i would tend to go with std again, mine has lasted for 4-5 years now, not cheap tho.

[audiman]

std rubber mounts last nearly a year, and as they are so cheap i use them

what have you replaced it with Tom the SQ version?

[audiman]

If its like the rest of powerflexs ace bushes then it will last all of about 3 mins!

My snub mount last for 3/4 mile!

[s2driveruk]

how much was it out of interest? Also would there be any benefit in flipping it the other way? Not sure how much slack there is but would it butt up the whole diveline better too or....?

Yes, it's slightly offset when used on a cq20v etc, but works perfectly fine.

An OEM replacement bush for a cq20v, S2 etc (B3/B4 Coupe quattro) doesn't exist on it own, You'd have to buy the alloy mount too at £80 or there abouts.
The picture linked above is a bush for a huge variety of older Audi and VW's, They were used for engine mounts, gearbox mounts etc.
It's also the rear diff bush used on the URquattro.

Yes, the arrow is pointing in the right direction (direction of travel).

Oh, the powerflex one, just wait for the droning and vibrations to start. I removed mine and gave it to my dog. He likes, I didn't

Yes def must say that looks nothing like the audi readr diff bush, i have just given my car a quick look over just to double check and yes the bolt hole should only be int he center of the bush!!!!!
P.S. I have a CQ20V too!!

[eamo]
