1. Bushing installation

The Lingenfelter 9.5” Camaro differential is designed to accept the OEM production type differential

bushings. These bushings are fairly difficult to remove without damaging so we have included them

as part of the differential assembly kit. The OEM bushings are LOCATION SPECIFIC. They must be

put in the correct location and at the correct angle of rotation (clocking). Failure to put the bushings

in the correct locations could increase the chances of axle hop or in vehicle noise and vibration. See

diagram 1 on page 23 for bushing position information.

The LPE 9.5” differential can also accept aftermarket differential bushings designed to fit the stock

differential. Most of these aftermarket bushings are not location specific but we recommend following

the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

2. The part number can be found on the

underside of each bushing in the location shown.

These part numbers indicate where it should be

installed on the differential.

3. The following three (3) steps will install

the differential bushings into their respective

mounting locations. LPE uses a bushing

installation tool, wrench, and socket wrench

to safely install the bushings, such as the one

shown in the adjacent illustration. Make sure to

apply lubricant, such as Sunnen B-200, to the

bearing and the inside of the bearing housing.

The installation of the LPE 9.5” differential requires removal of the fuel tank, exhaust

and numerous other vehicle components. This installation should only be performed by

someone experienced in working on vehicles. It is highly recommended that you have

access to the GM service information. Service manuals are available from Helm Inc

(www.helminc.com).

When referencing the side of the vehicle, the driver side of the vehicle is considered the

left side and the passenger side of the vehicle is considered the right side of the vehicle.

We recommend that you read the entire instructions before beginning the process. We

also recommend that you allow the vehicle to cool before beginning the installation

process.
