The differential mount will eventually break!
I recently undertook the process of dropping the differential and reinforcing the mounts. My good buddy Boris happens to be a vintage car nut and a good welder. Without his help, this would have never happened.
When we dropped the differential, we found that my mounts were broken, and they had actually been broken at least once before. The car is 40 years old, and I've owned it for 23 of those years, so somewhere along the line she broke.
I did all the mechanical work, all the reinforcement plate fabrication and all the cleanup to ensure the welding would go well. Boris did all of the welding. Believe me, he had the toughest job by far. He did a brilliant job of welding over his head in very cramped quarters.
I'm pleased with the end results. The back end of the car is more solid and the clunk caused by the cracked passenger side front mount is now gone. Thank goodness! (and Boris)
