What Happens When a Differential Bushing Becomes Damaged?

We go over the affects of a worn or cracked differential bushing. We show in detail what it looks like to drive a car with a cracked diff bushing. You can see the difference between the old damaged bushing and the new one. A worn bushing allows for more play (or movement) of the differential. It can impact the driving of the car and increase wear and tear on other components!

every F10/F11 Owner should watch this! Thank you

[@solomonshilaluke5980]

Great video, can you please remove the music so we can hear the sound of the broken bush.

[@pacheco13013]

Like why put the music when the whole point of the video is to hear the noise it makes?!

[@yandingtan187]

About to say. Never find this type of annoying "hype" music attracting, now it defeats the only purpose I came to see the video

[@rogermellie689]

Thanks for this video. Really helped my understand just how much these move during driving. Wow!

[@islamperce6705]

Thank you for sharing this video

Very interesting indeed! I’ve had a very slight drivetrain vibration on my 2013 640d since I bought it. While changing the oil yesterday I had a look at this bushing and found it’s cracked like this f10. I am hoping this is the cause of the slight vibes I get at motorway cruising speeds.
I’ve done this job before on an E92, interesting to see it can be done without disconnecting the prop shaft and drive shafts. Thanks for the well made videos.

[@kavish77]

Did you get a clunk noise when shifting 1st to third gears on the E92 ?

[@anjingkampung]

Great video.

[@FastLaneEuropean]

Thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it!

[@tautviukasd]

Thanks for the video!

[@FastLaneEuropean]

You're very welcome!

[@windowmaker]

Thanks for the video! Replaced with PowerFlex aftermarket.

Same bushing on the 6 series F06/F12/F13. All 3 differential bushings on my 2015 640i looked like this! Bought the special tools & replaced them all.

[@gottgaame]

My rear bushings damaged my thrust arm bushings and Guibo. Replace your rear diff mounts as soon as they go bad. U can damage the whole suspension

[@polloloci21]

That definitely answers that question

[@cloudy_oohh]

Normal driving... proceeds to send it 😂

[@edwardbaker1331]

The noise it makes can cause you to be almost certain you have a ball joint or sway bar link problem.

[@baristaskin431]

Great Video ,i have the same Problem ,can you make the video without music?thanks 👍

[@2Drezik]

well, thats an amazing video actually, thanks
now i'm sure mine are totally shot and it's exactly that noise on E61

[@frankmaggio4328]

I have an 05 64tci with 156k miles. she has a vibration at 40 mph, now it starts at 20 mph with a definite bass note with the windows up. Thought it might be the drive shaft but it may be the bushing causing drive shift misalignment. wWhat's the cost to repair?

[@AliHaider-hl6db]

Why did you put a soundtrack for this video ? We can’t hear a damn thing

[@gherghelgabriel8552]

Hi .
I have a problem.
Could you please help me.
I have a 730d, G11. The car vibrates, but only from 70km-120km and then it seems to disappear.
Thank you!

[@Druze_Tito]

wtf with the music. I came here to listen to the sounds of the video, I don't need music.

[@jjjohn5914]

How much do you charge to replace the bushing?

[@michaelbrueckner3893]

where can i get a camera like that...

[@gokselwz]

my bmw pulls when I do a kickdown
bmw service said the differential bushings all is broken

[@ir655]

What are the symptoms of a worn diff bushing?

[@MrJef1977]

seems like everybody wants the music removed. with a fail like this. would you trust them to work on your car?

[@aveon9646]

ls 430 hit 200xxx got it welded n January jus got it bck , video look terrible finna replace my diff spend like 2800 i got brand new bushing now , almost thought it was over

[@FAL654]

Salutari! Cum se manifestau vibratiile la dvs?

[@richardhenry4649]

Has anyone experienced an issue, i select drive and the vehicle obviously moves forward without applying the throttle, then when you do apply the throttle it double jumps as if it were taking up slack somewhere? In both forward and reverse gears. It also does the same double jump/clunk when down shifting from 2-1st. Any ideas what would cause this??

[@aleksd935]

I had similar symptoms, car would jerk when switched from D to R and back. It ended up being rear diff flange that had rusted splines, it broke on me while driving.

[@dkrawk8309]

Man oh man, those 30$ bushings will cause you 1000s in damge

[@adamatoure6827]

Hei Can this cause vibration when braking ??? Really need some Answer thanks .

[@radianm6]

Would this cause manual stick shake around 40mph plus

[@vaseabmwe39]

Nope. Check engine and transmission mounts

[@radianm6]

@@vaseabmwe39 I’d like to eventually change those. But I’m believing it’s my tie rods. They’re both literally done for
