How many of you folks have replaced the oem ford uca bushing, that's at the differential end ?
I have a feeling that mine is trashed... and if that's the case, replacing it with the steeda uca differential spherical. My uca is the adjustable bmr..with poly at front end...+ mating bmr uca mount. BMR does makes a poly for differential end. But poly to poly is bad news. Poly at differential end + spherical at forward end would work, but I think the nvh would increase some what. Spherical to spherical would be the ultimate.... but I fear nvh would be unacceptable.
I think that with my current oem rubber bushing at differential + poly at forward end, that the poly is causing the oem rear rubber bushing to wear even faster, since the rubber is the only thing that can articulate. With the oem setup, there is rubber at both ends...and both ends can articulate.
I will find out this week when car is on the lift, if it is semi trashed. I don't need another repeat down the road with another oem rubber bushing.
The steeda differential spherical looks beefy to me.... do they last?
