I've just had a new bush fitted in the rear cover of my 3.64 diff, ready for the swap-over. I think the gadgie's put the bush in the wrong way up. Can anyone tell me which way it's supposed to go please? At the moment, the bolt hole is nearer the bottom of the bush.
Cheers
Stuart.

No-one????????????
I'm getting desperate now, the diff's being fitted on Monday and the guy that's doing it won't be happy if it all doesn't line up. (.......And I won't be happy if I have to pay him to do the job twice!!) :twisted: :twisted: :-x

It's in the right way round.
Deffo closer to the bottom.

Which bush did you use ?

This is the Z3M cover and bush.

That's the one! My rear cover doesn't have as many fins, but the bush is the same and it's in the same way.
Thanks Andy, that's a great help. :thumb:
