Tearing up Diff Bushes on SC500 Griff these are quality poly bushes so must be happening on take up of Torque their are Griffs out there putting out more torq than mine so any recommendations
I need to see if its vthe same bush thats failed this time ( after 500miles) maybe its the bush housing?

Feels like a diff bush has gone cannot check till i get anew AFM, and can drive car to an indie and get it up in the Air
fitted all poly bushes top quality by good indie then when afm went found one bush failed front nearside seeing if its the same hopefully tomorrow will be able to tell you. If it is would need to look at fit of bush.
i,ve posted as this prob on SC cars has not been posted before, now having probs with AFM,s so not out of woods with SC upgrade as yet, generally from posts or lack of them on post upgrade ( other than Hamish) evryone seems to have no ill affects. and my upgrade is not developing the 400bhp and torque figures that a SC upgrade is aimed to give
seeing 351bhp and 348ft,lbs torq but at these figures car is brilliant, ( probably down to slight cam timing adjustment) prior to AFM going car would drive at 1k rpm in 5th with no shunting.
I,;; revert with Power flex
lets face it plenty of Griffs out there developing more torq etc and not having difff bush probs so something else going on here

I ended up going solid aluminum on all diff bushes.
I'd pull the the top mount out and have a looksie,chances are there could be cracks and may need repairing and extra gusseting.

thanks but latest info from 2 different sources racing TiVs ( SC Power) and competition Rally and off roading do not use poly bushes, or power flex, better with standard (TiV) bushes or heavy duty rubber compound but obviously different grade for aft Diff anchor.
I,ll check for mech damage etc.
So going back in to have new bushes installed.
