In Reply to: Diff mount CRACKED!!!!! check yours posted by Clayton on June 18, 2000 at 17:03:48:

: I was under the car today to install a RD sway bar & found 3 cracks in the differentail mounts on the drivers side of the car!!!! I have noticed a small groan under heavy acel, it must have been the metal flexing! Going to the dealer first thing in the AM. See the link for pics of the cracks!

At 4,500 miles, my M-Coupe developed a fluid like at the rear of the car. A quick under body check showed the differential to be coated in oil. On the rack, I was able to move the driver's side drive shaft easily left to right with my hand.
