ECS Differential Mounts for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

As your E30 ages, the rear differential bushing can crack, dry rot, and split. It's time for an upgrade. The ECS Tuning Heavy Duty Differential Bushing is crafted with performance in mind. Instead of using polyurethane, which is known for increasing NVH, the enthusiasts at ECS chose HD 70D rubber. This material offers a close-to-factory feel without the excess deflection of softer bushings, ensuring a pleasurable driving experience free from differential whine and excess movement.

Features & Benefits:

Eliminates Weak OEM Mount: The aging E30 chassis deserves an upgrade. Replace your old, cracked, and worn factory bushing with this HD alternative for improved performance. Perfect for Street or Track: Constructed from HD rubber instead of polyurethane or Delrin, this bushing provides comfort for daily driving while remaining effective in performance applications. Added Responsiveness: The 70D HD rubber compound is stiffer than the stock material, reducing drivetrain movement and effectively locking down your rear differential. Easy Installation: Precision-manufactured to the exact specifications of your OEM differential bushing, the ECS heavy-duty replacement installs just like the factory component. Whether you are replacing an aging factory bushing, removing excess driveline movement, or balancing performance and comfort, ECS Tuning has you covered with their Heavy Duty Rear Differential Bushing.

Urethane mounts keep the differential from twisting under load. As torque is put through the driveline it causes anything to twist and move. The differential is mounted to the subframe and the twisting and deflection can be transferred to the rest of the chassis. With a stiffer mount the differential will not deflect as much. This improves seat-of-the-pants feeling to the driver, giving more feedback for smoother power delivery. In theory, there's also more torque being sent to the drive wheels since it's not being used up shifting the diff weight around.

These are tough 88A durometer urethane bushings with a anodized almunum center sleeve, engineered by ECS. This is a set of E36 diff bushings - 1 for the front and 2 for the rear cover. New high-grade hardware is included (the front bolt has a tendency to snap from all that torque twisting!).

Eliminate power-robbing rear-end flex and upgrade your E36’s dynamic handling with the Turner Motorsport Track-Spec Differential Bushing Package. On the track or aggressive backroads, factory rubber differential mounts distort heavily under load, delaying throttle response and compromising rear alignment geometry. This complete package locks down the front and rear differential mounting locations, routing torque directly from your right foot to the pavement for maximum acceleration and predictable corner exit.

Engineered for drivers who demand race-bred chassis feedback without the unrefined harshness of solid metal mounts, this package equips your E36 with a heavy-duty polyurethane upgrade. Up front, a stiff 95A polyurethane bushing is anchored by a high-strength M14x1.5 Grade 12.9 bolt, overcoming the notoriously weak factory M12 bolt setup to survive high-RPM launches and severe track abuse. Out back, 88A polyurethane rear bushings stabilize axle load shifts to keep the rear end planted through turn-in and high-G cornering. Lightweight, black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum inner sleeves deliver structural integrity in severe racing environments.
