I think that the the Buschur bar is the better replacement than the eliminator, and I dont want to worry about my diff and for the excesive vibration.

Thanks,
I might be doing the same as well.


Anyone with the ams eliminator kit feel like taking a video of the noise inside the car??

Your original mounts were not made correctly and as you know, Daniel told you that too. So your THEORY based on my conversation with you concerning why I wasn't using the side supports is in error. Maybe I could post some pics of the new one that you installed to prove that it also began to bend and show signs of fatigue. By the way, if the support wasn't failing, why did you redesign it? Other failures also occurred as you mentioned. Again, the PASSENGER SIDE is the side that didn't line up, so I un-installed the driver side and re-installed the OEM pieces. YOU NEVER SAW the install/attempted install of the supports since it occurred at my house. Nice try, but I think I have pics of the alignment issues too. I'm good at documenting things, I just don't always show all my cards.

Disppaointing to see a very wealthy guy like yourself going out of your way to try and smear Buschur's repuation. Seriously, its a shame.

Its a shame that they are a total misrepresentation

If the two side supports were solid the diff could never tear out of the car in such a manner

As stated above the BR rear bar has three bolts to hold it to the diff

If you removed the one in the middle the diff would staill be very well attached by the other two bolts which go through the bar and into the diff

Obviously in the case of the pics above there was other installation errors going on

I think we can settle all this by saying what has already been said... if you would like to put on the mustache bar and have it work correctly, you must also install the solid side diff supports. If you do anything differently, your on your own and dont ***** about it.

I have been running the AMS kit with Whitline bushings for at least 6 months. I have no issues. I planned on getting the BR side mounts after seeing them on inco9nito99s car when we installed them at my house.

Even if I did'nt, I don't forsee any issues with my set up the way it sits.

Its not clear to us what you actually have. The ams kit comes with solid side mounts already. It sounds like you removed them and put on stock side mounts that have white line bushings in them? And now you want to get the burshur solid side mounts? makes no sense...

Edited. I was wrong.

I asked AMS how their bushings work on the side diff support using their mustache bar eliminator. The bushings on the side diff supports are completely taken out and replaced with the supplied aluminum bushings. SO yes, it is confusing how the car would have whiteline bushings and the AMS kit.
