i have one of these

and i want it to go in this.

i have solid bushings, but the diff did not come with bushings.

but there is a little bit of side to side play when i put them in the mount on the diff.

how do i make this work? is the side play ok? or should i get stock bushings? i heard i also need longer studs or bolts to get this diff to bolt in correctly.

Ebay bushings.... throw them away and file a paypal complaint. I had a set of those too, they only fit the J30/Q45 case, not the Z32,R, or others listed..... I bought them too. you need a S13 diff cover and Z32 Diff bushings. Energy suspension sells nice hard poly ones. I use them in my S14 case in the S13.

They should be 15mm longer, you can get them from a J30/Q45 at the junkyard
