Helpful video, FYI I have a 4 post drive up rack in my garage and doing it on that was a breeze on my 72 coupe. Since the car is on its wheels and there is no load on the diff. Had the old bushings and bolt out in 10 minutes. No removing the driveshaft or the rear diff carrier bolts.

My 74 Corvette does the same thing and I didn’t know what the problem was until I saw your video. Thank you, I’ll be able to deal with the problem now.

I have the same issue! Thank you for making a video on the problem. I agree there is no other videos explaining/ resolving this issue!

Thanks to the tips in this video I was able to change the top and bottom bushings. I had the same issue as several other posters in that I removed the front bolt on the diff housing to get the bushings in. But then the diff bolt would not line up due to the thickness of the new lower bushing. I had to use a crow bar to carefully pry the bracket from the diff support to make room to slide the lower bushing in. It’s wasn’t easy and there’s no way ploy bushings would have worked. I read where others used a running car to apply torque to align the holes. I’m just a one man garage. Glad this job is complete and I do ever plan to do it again.

amazing video you have the best one and pretty much the only one. NICE JOB NICE CAR

Used polyurethane on my 74. Three years now and no issues.

I just did my 73 snubber. The only problem I had was getting the forward bracket bolt back in. (The only one I removed). I tried jacking up the bracket, jacking up the differential. No good. I took it off the jack stands so it was on the ground. Had my son watch at a safe distance. When I put it in reverse with the brakes applied it lined up better. With a little gas it lined up perfectly. My son was able to quickly slip in the bolt. I did have the front wheels blocked. Oh, and the top bushing wouldn’t go into the bottom bushing by itself. I had to put the bolt through and tighten it down to get them to mesh. That was easy.

Thanks soooo much for this video! Mine has this same issue!

It was a tricky job even on my lift sitting on a stool. Removing the front bracket bolt helped

The link did not work but I have a question the guy I brought the car from said he locked all for tires when going about 100mph or more one time and after that when driving the car now you feel a some vibration when driving at times

How do you remove the 2 bolts on the bracket? Mind is getting stuck on the passenger side. I’m trying to remove the bracket to change the pinion seal

On the later 80-82 the leaf spring end bolt nuts removed takes the tension off and it ban be pried with little effort.

I just bought my first C2 ('66) Vette and I have the same issue with the clunking in the rear-end. I bought the Rear End Mount Cushion from Eckler's and I'm going to attempt the replacement this weekend. If you've learned or know anything more about replacing this on a C2, I'd love you advice. Thanks for the posting and l hope to start sharing some of my own learnings along the way! Cheers, Dave!

Hey, great vid, although I got the new bushings in but, had to remove one of the diff support bolts to make Room for the lower bushing. With the lower bushing in I can’t push up on the bracket enough for the holes to align to get the support bracket bolt back in. Any suggestions please?

It's the nut spinning freely or is the whole bolt spinning? Don't you have to hold the top of that bolt also?

Hey, my teenager needs to replace these bushings on his orange '79. Are these under load like the mono spring bushings are? I don't want him getting hurt if it flies apart upon removal. Thanks

Is there a compelling reason why you can't reverse the bolt and thread it in from the bottom? Clearance on the top side, for example?

Is it worth putting a nyloc but on the bolt? Does it need torquing? Great video

How many bushings do you need there?

Thank you for the video I have a 1968 Corvette When I drive my Corvette And everything gets warm when I go to make a left turn from a dead stop I get a clunking noise I thought it was the differential so I changed the gear oil with a friction modifier I'm still getting the clunking.. I ordered this bushing do you think this could be it?

I replaced that rubber cushion with poly and with a burnout I cracked the tongue bracket welded to frame!!! rubber has more flex and would have prevented this issue!!

Where are Jack stand points? 1977 c3

Why would the front of the car need to be raised to put the car in neutral so you can move the driveshaft by hand? It's a rear wheel drive car...

Having a problem putting that front bolt back into the bracket. It’s not aligning now that the larger bushing is in. Any advice, please??

There is not 1 metric bolt or nut on this car.
