daverbmxer Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 My 00 Legacy GT wagon always had a thunk on a bad shift and found these were shot as I could lift the differential and it had a lot of slop. So I got the Whiteline KDT927 kit, hopefully that was the right one. Well upon removing the 17mm bolts I pulled 2 steel sleeved bushings out and they had already broken loose from the rubber contacting the cylinder they were slid into. And what remains appears to be glued in there. How am I supposed to so this? If I just use the washer and rubber bushing Whiteline supplies the rubber squishes out and the washer gets pulled into the cylinder and provides no up/down support.

daverbmxer Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Can you elaborate more? I got new Whiteline ones as seen in the pic, don't they replace the factory bushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 What you have are inserts that go into the existing bushings to stiffen them. KDT906 are brand new bushings that go in it's place. I have this kit for sale If your interested. You need to pull the entire subframe to press them in with a press. Check out this thread. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/replace-rear-differential-bushings-207891.html The easy route is to get washers like shown in the kit below, and use 3m window weld to fill it up and cap them with the washers.

daverbmxer Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 I thought about doing something like that with caulking lol. Would I use the existing broken steel sleeved bushings too? I'd think so. It's kind of my bad for not researching it more before I bought them but to me it wasn't clear that I needed good stock bushings PLUS these which only stiffen it. They're marketed as bushings that stiffen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleRumble Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yeah you would need to use existing steel sleeves for the window weld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
