How is the NVH? Is there an appreciable increase in noise and vibration from them? I don't need them yet but every time I look at that front diff I think that it's a job I only want to do once!

Rob.
Short answer is yes you do notice an increase in NVH.
It felt different when first installed but now its normal to me.
Personally I prefer it, you feel more connected to the road and less isolated from what the suspension is doing.

My wife rarely drives the Jeep but she says it feels the same as it always did

Yes at first I noticed a little more NVH with the Jeeperf bushes and it felt a bit different, but not after a week of driving. It is much better than having the front diff flopping about though and I don't want to do it again either!

I’m getting more noise from one or more of my CVs at the moment… I should just leave the mud terrains on then I don’t hear or feel any of the little noises!

I have had the superpro bushes for a few years now nearly done 100k and they still look great.

Well guys, the time has come to do the diff bushes. Some fun at Bylong a few weeks ago and some towing has ruined them.

I am tossing up between Jeeperf or Superpro poly bushes. I would love to hear from anyone who has installed the Superpro, as I have these on the radar to save some coin. The Jeeperf ones seem to be well reviewed, but if the local alternative is any good then I would be more than content with them I reckon.

Cheers,

Rob.

I did get mine done a few weeks back and went with the PolyPro ones.

As there is only 2 of the 3 needed in the kit the 3rd one was replaced with a genuine rubber bush. As it's supported by the other 2 it should last a whole lot longer than before and is the easiest to replace if it doesn't.

So far haven't noticed a difference in NVH but gee it's nice not to have a big clunk under there. Don't know how long the front CV will last though...

Thanks Heifer Boy.

I can't come at over $500 for the Jeeperf ones, and so the Superpro ones it will be I guess.

Now, what else do I need to do while the diff is out...?
