Diff Mount Inserts install - Diff won't lower???
Ok I'm at a loss...I am trying to install the Whiteline KDT925 diff insert bushings and after I remove the two front bolts (while supporting the diff with a jack) then try lower the diff a half inch or so to get the bushings in, the diff is not going anywhere. It is not moving downward like it should.
As I look at it this makes sense. The diff rear bushings are supporting the up and down movement of the diff, and the front of the diff is tied to the driveshaft, so how is it supposed to lower down just by unbolting the two front diff mounts? Seems like the driveshaft would need to be unbolted to allow the front of the diff to tilt downwards some (towards the front of the car)
I'm confused. The instructions just say to do as I described above, no mention of unbolting anything else, and I haven't seen any challenges mentioned by anyone either when discussing these, just lots of talk about NVH...
Just for kicks I tried loosening the 4 subframe mounts but then realized that doesn't help either, just lowers the whole assembly altogether- diff and subframe.
