Some years back I enquired about the Defiv diff brace and was told it was discontinued because it didn't make much of a difference.

The original 3 3 bushings are retained. I don't have the rear end installed yet to listen to thr NVH. I plan to start with stock bushings and see how it is with them and upgrade to poly on the original 3 if needed.
This is a different style than the defiv brace so I think it can make a difference and is not as involved.
Conceptually it is like the Turner F80 4th diff mount bracket but it puts the bushing in the bracket because there is nowhere to put it in thr frame without a lot of modification to the subframe. A bolt hole is much more reasonable for the average guy than welding in a bushing mount.
