Goodbye crusty old driveshaft bushings. Hello Torque Solution's solid billet aluminum bushings. Something I noticed the car could use when doing the tranny mount.
This was a super easy, quick and cheap swap! It took longer to wrestle the heat shield outa the way than it did to replace the bushings.

Review:
- Initial start up was noticeably "smoother" with NO added noise.
- Gear shifts just feel better and quicker
- Launches feel better
- Down shifts also feel better
Can't believe I didn't do this sooner. Really cleans up some drivetrain slop without increasing NVH. Might be slightly more wine from the shaft heard in the cabin but the car has every other drivetrain bushing or mount already swapped and was loud to begin with. NVH probably would've been more noticeable on someone's car that didn't have such extensive work done. But if your concerned about cabin noise caused from mods, maybe you don't "need" to mod your car. I feel more connected knowing what's happening to the car from the driver's seat, regardless of comfort.
