Apikol rear diff mount, 210 bucks shipped. It will be in the classifieds tomorrow.
PM me if you are interested.
I installed this last week and had some vibration that a lot of other people get. I checked the snub and re-installed the diff mount but still had some vibration. I don't believe the diff mount is causing the vibration. I think instead it is revealing some other problem I have. My OEM diff mount doesn't vibrate, and I'm guessing my engine/tranny is out of alignment from an engine mount being more worn than the rest. With the 200 miles I did drive with it, shifting was noticeably better. The shifter twitched much less and shifting under WOT was incredibly smooth. I am putting it in the classifieds tomorrow for 210 bucks shipped. At some point I will get RS4 mounts and then will be purchasing this again.

He's saying your story is just a fabrication to sell this thing...your putting the blame on
other things when, in reality, it's the diff mount just as many other people have encountered and concluded.

I'm not rich. Maybe 200 dollars isn't much to you, but it is to me
I don't know when I will purchase engine mounts, but I would rather put the diff money towards that or into my "oh **** fund."

Well actually it's rubbish because he buys a billet/poly mount and expect not to notice any negative
effects. Then, he goes and sells it 200 miles later because he feels that other mounts are worn.
I could understand if he were selling it because he just didn't like it. But he's selling it only to lose money and lose even more when he buys it later on.
I say just keep the damn mount on there and suck it up until you get new tranny/motor mounts.
