  1. I get the "growl" on hard acceleration from a stop or slow speed when it's cold out, but when it's mild it only happens on hard acceleration while turning tightly. I did a version of bushing inserts yesterday to see if it would help limit movement of the rear differential.

     

    I took a pair of spare rubber sway bar bushings...

    ...cut the flat portion off of them...

    ...and cut the remaining two semicircle parts in half to make four inserts.

    To widen the openings in the top part of the rear differential bushings I pried down on a mounting bolt by placing the hole in the end of a breaker bar over the tip of the bolt and then jacking up on the other end, using the brace (with the arrow on it in the picture) for leverage. I then worked the inserts into the top openings (silicone spray helped).

    Then I jacked up on the differential to open up the bottom opens in the bushings...

    so I could work the lower two inserts in.

    They haven't totally eliminated the noise but have made a significant reduction in it. Next, I'll upgrade to poly inserts to stiffen it up some more.

    couldn't find the "246" on the 246, so here's another...
