Default Solid rear diff mount... Worth it?

Is it worth fitting a solid rear diff mount to my saff?

What gains will I achieve from it?

A bit in the dark when it comes to bits like this

Cheers billy

Yes makes a big difference stiffens diff upband you can feel the difference when driving once fitted, well worth it especially if you've got polybushes and solid beam mounts

Yes, even though I don't have one lol.

It's one of the biggest single improvements you can do, a sloppy old mount allows the rear end to change geometry under all driving conditions.
