Differential Mounts

Upgrade your drivetrain performance with ECS Tuning Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings—engineered specifically for BMW F8x/G8x models and designed to deliver superior power transfer, durability, and driving precision.

Factory rubber differential bushings are built for comfort, absorbing vibrations between the differential and chassis during everyday driving. However, they are a known wear item that degrade over time—especially under spirited or aggressive driving conditions. Many F8x/G8x owners experience premature cracking and wear, leading to excessive drivetrain movement, reduced throttle response, and unwanted wheel hop.

ECS Tuning’s in-house engineered polyurethane differential bushings provide a high-performance solution to these common issues. By significantly reducing drivetrain deflection, these upgraded bushings enhance throttle response, improve handling stability, and minimize wheel hop—resulting in a more connected and controlled driving experience.

Constructed from durable 95A durometer red polyurethane and paired with precision CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum sleeves, these bushings are built to withstand extreme driveline forces while maintaining street-friendly comfort. Unlike solid or delrin mounts, ECS polyurethane bushings strike the perfect balance between performance and daily drivability—delivering increased rigidity without excessive noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH).

Whether you're carving canyon roads, launching at the drag strip, or simply commuting, these performance differential bushings ensure more efficient power delivery from the differential to the wheels—giving you better throttle modulation, traction, and overall control.

Replace worn factory bushings with ECS Performance Polyurethane Differential Bushings and experience tighter handling, improved drivetrain response, and long-lasting reliability.

Worn rubber differential mounts will lead to the differential twisting and shifting around in the rear subframe. Not only will this be noisy but it's bad for driver confidence and bad for the chassis as well. Even on fresh rubber bushings the differential has deflection and twist, especially if the car has been modified for more torque. Since the differential is centrally mounted in the rear subframe, with all suspension mounts interconnected, a differential with too much deflection will affect handling and could even damage the rear subframe.

These 88A urethane E46 M3 diff mounts are much stiffer than stock but still not as solid as our Turner aluminum/Delrin bushings. This set will resist twisting much better than the stock rubber mounts. Included is the front diff mount and two rear mounts in the cover.

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.

Upgrade your vehicle's rear differential with the Revshift Polyurethane Rear Differential Bushing Set to experience a noticeable improvement in handling, stability, and overall driving dynamics. Elevate your street performance with confidence and precision.

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!).

This package of OEM E82 E90 E92 diff mounts replaces the stock rubber diff bushings. On a tuned 335i you may have noticed more driveline shudder or problems hooking up during hard launches. What happens is the stock rubber bushings are under constant flex as engine torque is transmitted through the differential. Under normal driving with a stock car the bushings are rarely stressed. But factor in significant additional torque from a tuned N54/N55 and the stock rubber will quickly show its weaknesses. You may have even broken a diff bolt or two as the heavy differential shifts around. Even non-turbo E82 and E9X models may benefit from fresh bushings.

This is a set of stock rubber bushings, made by OEM supplier Lemforder. They are the same as the Genuine BMW E9X diff mount bushings, but without the more expensive branding. If you're turned off by potential side effects of urethane or Delrin then the OEM diff mounts are your best option. The OEM mounts fit and perform just like the originals so there is no second guessing their quality. If you're looking for an upgrade we offer E9X solid Delrin and aluminum diff mounts that work well, even in street applications.

E9X Diff Mount Set includes:

• 33176760287 x 2, front differential mount
• 33176770866 x 1, rear differential mount
• (new hardware is optional and can be ordered separately below)
