Hi all

Car...89 wagon D/R 5 speed ea82 non turbo.

Now for the Q.

I need to replace the gas tank...so have to drop the diff from what

I understand.

I was looking at the bracket that holds the diff to the car...it looks like there is

a rubber bushing in it...is this true?

And if thats what it is...it looks to bad in very bad shape.

SOOOO...is it a rubber bushing? If so...does anyone know where

I can get a new one?? :-\

Thanks for any help with this.

 

MOOOO

It is a rubber bushing, but it's molded right into the hanger. I haven't personally seen one go bad except in situations where the hanger is bent, and the rubber stayed at a funny angle for a long time.

 

Only way I could see to replace it is to replace the whole hanger. Likely it's just fine tho. I wouldn't worry about it. You could fill in the holes in the rubber with urethane if you wanted.

Thanks GD

 

That makes me feel better

Must be the rubber is chewed up on the edges some is all.

 

That solves problum

im kinda in the same boat on this one, i need to drain and drop the tank, its been sitting for 6 years and prolly has more water than gas in it, strangly enuff, the car still runs on it.

it maight look like its separated, but that is how its supposed to be. you will understand once you have it apart.

Yes...thank you Miles

 

I see how it is now...kinda like the ones in the mustash bar.

This sure is turning into a messy job...lol

I should have checked that the contaner that I was draining the

gas into didn't leak better...kitty litter...garage floors best friend
