indeed :-)

thought your screen name looked familiar...

i've had the bushes to do this diff mount job for months but haven't found the time to get to it. there's a special puller required to get the two rear buses in and out, but i think we have some tools around the shop that will work.

I was always told that as obvious as it seems, its not the diff bushings. Are you sure you are getting good vacuum to your trans?

You can eyeball diff bushing condition. Look at the diff from behind. There will be two bolt heads in circular openings. Both bolt heads should be centered in the rubber bushings in the openings. Typically you'll find the left bolt head sitting closer to the bottom of it's circular opening indicating a worn bushing.

I found this to rank among the PITA jobs in a 124. I don't think MB meant for anyone to work on the diff without dropping the subframe or there'd be a way to remove the breather. In relation, replacing the rear lower arm bushings carrier bushings with the proper tool is far easier... and I've yet to see a 124 that didn't need diff bushings and carrier bushings.
