At the moment my XR4x4 diff is hard mounted to the back of my transmission tunnel. I intend to incorporate the rear mount, (the one at the top of the rear of the diff), into the triangulation of the IRS. Has anyone experienced vibrations through the chassis from the diff / and if so would it be worth looking into mounting it via rubber bushes?

Thanks Mick

Just a guess but I would have thought that your diff shouldnt vibrate...should run nice and smoothly. If it did vibrate, i doubt you'd notice it over the vibration from the engine and road etc

David

If it's any help, the MK Indy and Tiger avon both have the diff mounted directly to the chassis. They also do without the rear rubber mount as well.

HTH

Are you sure something is not out of balance. The propshaft maybe if the vibration is bad ?

Bad title

I'm still at the design stage. I'm just wondering if it's worth isolating the diff.
Gut feeling says to hard mount it and then try and incorporate it into the triangulation.
Unless there is a problem with vibration through the chassis, bearing in mind how close the diff is to the bit the French design cars around.

Mick

If I were building my own, I would definitely mount the diff on bushes. However, there doesn't appear to be much vibration from the diff, and what bit there is, isn't really noticeable.

If its an option you have, then go for it.

I wouldn't bother

probably being thik, but I don't get the bit about the 'French' car design?

Is it the Derry air or the sitter on?
