the problem is that i use my car daily to work since it's my dd so i cant stop it to do this, but i would love to, maybe you could help me or bikinilust, for example to buy a mount from a junkyard for me or something that would work. Of course i'm gonna pay for it. $107 for a new one aint that bad but i prefer to do this... If not well, sadly i'll pass

if you dont mind please find one for me PLEASE!! here on Puerto Rico to find this car on the junkyards is like winning the lottery with one dollar, lol this sucks!!
I know that this is off topic but since somebody brought it here i would like to ask. I'm looking to reinforce my bushings, all of them if possible, or one by one, the thing is that i've seen for the differentials bushings, we've got solids, urethane, and replacement/stock. I'm interested in the solids, so they can hold up the abuse of daily use/everything else, but i guess they get more sound on the cabin too right? should i go urethane or solids.
Also, as for any other suspension bushing component there are bushings that are like all metal, like ball joints and then we have urethane, which one do you guys recommend? i heard that the all metal ones tend to squeak and make noises. Also, is the feeling on street the same, or they tend to make the car more rigid than urethane?
This is partially off topic but hey!, It's urethane related, lol...

I just got a new trans mount from rock auto and added the urethane, holding up fine. I did urethane for the diff and subframe, front end all urethane except for the compression which I used the spl bushings. looks like finishing the rest of the rear suspension will be pushed out, but I cant wait.

I should add I have noticed no increase in any noise from all bushings, they do seem to break in a bit, trans mount vib on the shifter has gone down some do to some softening I am sure but the roll I could feel in hard corners on the shifter is still eliminated. Solid subframe bushings would be fine and I should have went that way, but I feel I made the right call on the diff, thinking the flywheel swap needed give somewhere.
