Rear differential mount

[bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

If the subframe mounts seem solid, don't bother to replace, I don't.  You can get a aftermarket diff mount from 034.

Subject: Rear differential mount


My son's 88 90Q has been in the garage for the last couple of months, the rear 
differential is out, the rear subframe is out, so are the bumpers and it's 
getting an anti-rust treatment.  Now it's time to put it all back together.
We have treated the subframe with POR-15, looks good.  The question is now:  to 
replace or not to replace the subframe mounts?  They seem pretty solid.
The other question is:  what to do with the middle diff support (the one at the 
backof the diff)?  It's pretty much shot, the rubber seems ok but the shaft 
through which the bolt goes has separated from the rubber.  I checked pricing 
and it's outrageous!   Would anyone know if the bushing is available separately, 
without the aluminum mount surrounding it?  Or perhaps a way of reinforcing the 
existing one so it holds (I was thinking of adding rubber washers on the shaft 
on both sides so the diff would not move around?
TIA
