[s-cars] Parts help-rear bushes for 200q (x post)

[Mike Fitton]

Nah, that's the front side.  I'm talkin about the back side.  See, 
there's two sides to every diff.  :-)

The front one's like this stamped steel truss thing.  Two inner mounts 
bolt up to the front of the diff, near where the input shaft goes in.  
Two outer mounts attach to the body.  I ordered the set of four a couple 
months ago, but have yet to work up the balls to replace them.  It's 
gonna be ugly.

The rear is the one we're talking about (I think).  It's this enormous 
cast iron kiss my ass metal beam under the trunk.  The diff has a mount 
that sits on top of it in the middle and the crossmember itself has two 
body mounts on each end.

For the guy I was talking to earlier (already forgot the name...sorry, 
been a difficult week), I'd love to see closeup photos of any markings 
on those mounts if and when you get them.

-Cheers!
