   engine wobbling about, knocking from the exhaust as it hits the floor pan and if it gets really bad, a sickening noise as your driveshaft pulls out of the box and a smell of gear oil pee-ing out

   is it the one on top of the box or the lower one down near the driveshafts?

   i just bought a powerflex one for my can £25 off larkspeed. It is a tough material though so causes a fair amount of vibration. Standards are less i would have thought

   deff go for powerflex one, got one on ours and as other people have said, bit more vibration but tightens everything up nicely
