The diff mounts are "liquid" filled...they are not solid rubber. When they rupture, a red oily goo will come out of them.

Search the DIY to see if anyone has posted instructions on how to remove/replace the rear diff. That should let you know how difficult it is to do the work.

ok new problem.. I cant get the Rubber pieces of the muffler (its the ones with the red arrow pointing to it). I got the rear differential mount lose and it slides back and forth but i cant take it off because the sway bar is lose but i can remove it. The reason I can remove the sway bar is that i cant get the rubber piece off (off the muffler) to remove the sway bar....ANY tips on removing that muffler support rubber piece.

Thanks for the previous help, it helped.

Also that rear differential mount doesn
