Differential Mount, Aftermarket - E82, E9X, E84, E85, E86

This diff bushing is a direct replacement for the original mount in the rear subframe. As torque is transmitted through the differential and rear subframe, the differential can twist on its mounts. The constant loading/unloading leads to worn out rubber bushings. Symptoms of worn differential mounts include "clunking" from rear end and increased gear whine. If not replaced a worn bushing could lead to failure of the entire differential or axles.

This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many bushings and mounts. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
