Description
Whiteline Rear Differential Bushings – 2008-2014 Lexus IS F — Some of the delay felt during abrupt throttle transitions comes from the driveline moving in its mounts before torque is fully reacted through the chassis. This product is listed for 2008-2014 Lexus IS F.
Tighter differential location reduces the amount of movement that occurs before torque is reacted through the chassis. That can improve the immediacy of throttle transitions, but less isolation may also make gear or driveline noise and vibration more noticeable.
Technical Overview
- Position: Rear
- Application: 2008-2014 Lexus IS F
- Whiteline part number: KDT972
Who This Is For
A good match for performance builds where direct driveline response is prioritized over maximum factory-like isolation.
What to Expect
Compared with soft factory isolation components, a more performance-focused mounting solution may transmit additional noise, vibration or harshness. That tradeoff is part of the more direct mechanical connection.
Installation & Setup
Expect the possibility of additional NVH compared with factory rubber. Recheck mounting hardware after initial use if the Whiteline instructions for the exact kit call for it.
