I had that diff knock problem. the one usually caused when that diff mount goes bye bye. well, i dropped the rear and this is what i found!
if you didn't see it the first time, here's another angle
it seemed as though it wasn't the mount itself. but where the mount bolted to on the subframe. it simply broke off

i was referring to that knocking noice back there when that front diff mount goes. yes, i should've worded it better. but i'm beat. too tired...
just wanted to share some of my findings. now i'm off to find another subframe? er what can i say. i've only had this car if 6 months.

Keep in mind, it's actually easier to drop the whole rear subframe assembly as one entire unit. Just unblot shocks, calipers, driveshaft, link, stabilizer bar, frame mount bolts and drop the whole unit. Easier to install also, although a little bulky.

cheers: any tips on making that bracket beefier?
revvin: how do you propose i do that?
sorry for the nOob-ishness. but this is the first big thing i'm embarking on with this car. and with the findings, it went from a weekend project to the rest of winter project.
