Default Which diff bushing is better? UUC bushing or CS bushing?

As the title states, Which one has been known to perform better? Any extra noise added to the cabin? Rougher shifting? Please let your thoughts be known! Thank you

I need to buy one soon, and I need the strongest bushing possible for my car. By factory one just blew out, and I got a noticeable clunk.

What is the price on each one?

Thanks for any info!

I bought the CS bushing and trans mount. Car is solid, feels way better on shifts, no extra cabin noise, and best of all the clunk is gone.

UUC is two piece of red poly, with steel center piece.

The UUC reminds me of a standard press-in you get in like a Prothane ball joint kit or something. I wonder..

Yeah but the UUC hasn't failed like the CS brand did. Not sure on what caused the failure. Maybe the bolt wasn't tight enough? Bad batch of poly? Who knows. I do know that both companies will stand behind either product without hesitation.

Well, got with Luke today and ordered the UUC bushing. Only because I havent heard of any failures on it. And since my car will truly put this UUC bushing to the test, I can't take any chances. Haaa

No tool is needed to "press" in the bushing. Grease it a little and push the two halves in with your hands. Getting out the OEM bushing is a pain.

You're not taking your own advice?

Hopefully, the warrantied piece is just as good as the UUC for him. That a way, he only loses out on time, blood, sweat, and tears.
