Hey friends, I have picked up a 1995 2g awd to daily and it has had an LSD swapped rear end. It is making a lot of noise when I turn at low speeds in a parking lot in either direction and recently a small amount of noise when pulling out. It sounds very similar to a CV axle going bad but I did get the car in the air and I checked the cv axles and they seemed to be okay. If I grab the drive shaft by the rear end I can move the differential up and down and I can see that the bracket with the 3 bolts that attaches to the side of the differential has a bushing thats pretty spanked. My question is could this be causing all of my grief in the rear end of this car and can I buy that bushing or bracket anywhere or am I going junk yarding? I am going to order drive shaft bushing because I can see those are shot.
 
I uploaded an exploded view to give you guys a better idea of what im talking about. Number 4 in that picture is the bracket that bolts to my rear differential. I can buy a new one online but I dont want to spend that money if thats something I can get used. I wanted to know if they make a poly bushing for that or if it comes in the rear solid mount kits they offer out there if anyone knows. Anything to save money ya know? Update on this. My drive shaft was loose and I tightened up the carrier bolts and it doesnt make nearly as much noise now but that bushing is still shot.
