Product Details
Made to fit the 1995-1996 BMW M3 Lightweight (E36), the Rear Differential Mount Bushing from Whiteline. The listing names the Lightweight trim. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Included: 2 bushings, 2 tubes, an install guide, and grease. Whiteline part number: KDT969.
The differential is hung from the chassis on bushings that are soft for comfort. Under hard acceleration and braking they let it rock, so power reaches the wheels a moment late and the rear end can feel loose. A firmer bushing holds the differential more steadily, which sharpens throttle response. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 4 hours of work listed. A wheel alignment is not required. Working on the same car? We also list Front Strut Tower Brace, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the BMW M3.
Features
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Compliance voids: Molded voids give the bushing room to flex where it needs to.
