caszboy Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 i searched and couldn't find it so... im thinking about buying the solid front diff mount for the 180 sold by Arizona Zcar. i have the "clunk" in the rear and know this is most likely the culprit. The car has been siting for about 7 years before i got it. so, for you that have this or had this......did you like it? any cons to using it? thanks in advance. sorry if this is a repost casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 just found this. lots of info....i guess i need to either get the stock mount or go solid on all the mounts for the diff. sorry for the repost. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=108276&highlight=solid+diff+mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trwebb26 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 do a search for "ron" and "tyler" and "diff" and "mount" or some variation of those 4 words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Yeah, what he said. RoostMonkey did a production run of the Ron Tyler style mount and if I'm not mistaken should still have some left over for sale. It'll only be slightly more in initial cost, but will save you some heartache in the long run. Good luck! Edit: Here ya go check this thread out http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=120077&highlight=roostmonkey Shoot him a PM, I'm sure he's either got some left or can point you into the direction of who he gave them to to sell.

Roostmonkey Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Just so happens that I do have some more available. Go to the link that Pound posted for ordering info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 im sorry for being stupid on the subject but what exactly is that? does it replace the front and strap mounts for the diff roostmonkey?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Try and do some research on your own. You should have been able to search "differential mount" or "diff mount" or some combo and come up with this thread on your own. It's also linked to in the diff FAQ which comes up on pretty much any diff related keywords you can come up with. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=95128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 ok, so i searched and this is the conclusion that i came up with... It replaces the front diff mount and assembly and mounts it to the well opposed to the crossmember using a Chevy urethane bushing. Is this correct? this makes it eliminate the future possibility of failing but might increase the noise factor with daily driving. but i still dont understand the mounting and the use of the two bolts. is this 'kit' a two part kit? or just the well mounting bracket? sorry, i have never messed with the diffs in z's before.

caszboy Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 i get it now i think....it just uses two long bolts on the side of the diff to secure it to the GM bushing then bolts to the tunnel bracket. so it wont bolt to the crossmember at all. correct?

Pop N Wood Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 No. I doesn't attach to the stock cross member. Although a lot of guys run both the Ron Tyler mount AND the stock mount to completely immobilize the nose of the diff. I am not sure what that buys, but a lot of guys are doing it that way.
