While that’s great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, the stock bushing is extremely prone to failure, especially in harsher climates and on higher-powered cars. Even on the best-kept cars, the stock rubber bushing dry rots and cracks by the time it’s 10-15 years old. When the bushing lets go, it leads to excessive vibrations and clunking which can damage the transmission and rear diff. To make matters worse, the stock carrier is molded onto the center support bearing, leading to costly driveshaft replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis upgraded unit keeps the driveshaft firmly in place at all times, and its polyurethane construction ensures it will never wear out. The thick bushings ensure the driveshaft cannot move from center, maintaining driveshaft alignment under any loading condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo options are available for the bushings, both of which are many times over better than the stock bushings. We’ve paid close attention to the NVH levels associated with this upgrade. After extensive design iterations, we’ve come up with custom isolator bushings that separate the carrier from the body of the vehicle and mounting hardware. These carriers substantially reduce NVH levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe street bushings absorb most of the NVH from the drivetrain. Some light NVH is possible at some speeds in the form of a soft hum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe track bushings are for those who want no-compromise drivetrain performance. These may create a substantial amount of cabin noise. Not sure which is for you? Try them both, they’re interchangeable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane\" id=\"tabDoesItFit\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"title\"\u003eThis Part Fits the Following Vehicles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productApplication\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"appTable\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"app_th make\"\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"app_th model\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"app_th submodel\"\u003eSubmodel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"app_th engine\"\u003eEngine\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"app_th\"\u003eSpecial Fitment Notes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"make\"\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"model\"\u003eB8 RS5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"submodel\"\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"engine\"\u003e4.2L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specialFitmentNotes\"\u003eUse vehicle selector to confirm fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"make\"\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"model\"\u003eB8 S4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"submodel\"\u003eQuattro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"engine\"\u003e3.0T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specialFitmentNotes\"\u003eUse vehicle selector to confirm fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"make\"\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"model\"\u003eB8 S5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"submodel\"\u003eQuattro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"engine\"\u003e3.0T Cabriolet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specialFitmentNotes\"\u003eUse vehicle selector to confirm fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"make\"\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"model\"\u003eB8 S5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"submodel\"\u003eQuattro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"engine\"\u003e3.0T Coupe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specialFitmentNotes\"\u003eUse vehicle selector to confirm fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"make\"\u003eAudi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"model\"\u003eB8 S5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"submodel\"\u003eQuattro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"engine\"\u003eV8 4.2L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"specialFitmentNotes\"\u003eUse vehicle selector to confirm fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ccite class=\"prodAppCite\"\u003eThe above product applications have been written by ECS Tuning.
