Broken Diff Cover Mount




How common is this issue?

Haven't heard many stories about it, but recently two guys I know had it happen, both are manual transmission. Both times happened during a clutch dump/burnout.

Hit the poll if you had this happen to you.

This has happened to a couple of people that I know, usually after the bolt snaps and they replace just the bolt this is usually the next failure to occur.

Diff bushings were original on your car? Usually happens during a hard launch, the load applied on the driveline causes the nose of the diff to move upwards and if the bolt doesnt break the housing will break.
