16-24 Camaro Differential Lockout Bushing Kit, Aluminum - BMR

FITS 2016-2024 CAMARO ( ALL MODELS )
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION:

Reduce differential movement, diminish wheel hop, and improve rear drivetrain stability on your 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro with the BMR Suspension Aluminum Differential Lockout Bushing Kit featuring Part Number BK060. Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications, the BK060 installs directly into the factory differential bushings to significantly reduce bushing deflection without requiring complete removal and replacement of the OE rubber bushings. The factory Camaro differential bushings are designed with large voids that help absorb noise, vibration, and harshness for improved everyday comfort. While effective for NVH isolation, these voids allow the differential bushings to deflect when subjected to drivetrain torque and aggressive acceleration. This movement can contribute to wheel hop, inconsistent traction, and reduced rear-end stability. BMR designed the BK060 specifically to control this unwanted movement by reinforcing and locking out the compliant areas of the factory differential bushings. Unlike BMR's BK058 polyurethane or BK059 solid aluminum replacement bushing kits, the BK060 is a non-permanent lockout solution that works with the Camaro's existing factory differential bushings. The lockout components are manufactured from heavy-duty 6061 billet aluminum and install into the OE bushings to reduce their ability to deflect under load. This design provides a significant improvement in differential stability without requiring the factory bushings to be cut or pressed out of the vehicle. By decreasing differential bushing deflection, the BK060 helps keep the differential more securely positioned as torque is transferred through the drivetrain. BMR states that this diminished movement helps reduce wheel hop, increase traction, and improve handling stability. These benefits make the BK060 an excellent option for Camaro owners looking for a performance-oriented differential mounting upgrade while retaining the factory differential bushings. Finished in a durable Black Anodized coating, the BK060 provides corrosion-resistant protection and a clean performance appearance. Another major advantage is installation time: BMR estimates approximately one hour, making the BK060 considerably less involved than a complete differential bushing replacement. Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, the BMR BK060 provides sixth-generation Camaro owners with a straightforward way to reduce differential deflection and improve traction and rear-end stability.

Important Notes

• This listing is for the differential bushing lockout kit.
• The factory differential bushings remain installed in the vehicle.
• BK060 installs into the factory differential bushings to limit their ability to deflect under load.
• This is a non-permanent installation and can be removed if desired.
• The lockout components are manufactured from heavy-duty 6061 billet aluminum.
• The factory differential bushings contain voids designed to absorb NVH but can allow unwanted movement during performance driving.
• Reducing this bushing movement helps stabilize the differential during acceleration.
• BMR states that the BK060 decreases differential bushing deflection, diminishes wheel hop, increases traction, and improves handling stability.
• Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications.
• Installation is considerably less involved than replacing the complete factory differential bushings.
• BMR's installation instructions state that the BK060 can be installed using a hydraulic jack and jack stands, although a two-post service lift and transmission jack make the procedure easier.
• Installation requires supporting the rear differential center section.
• BMR's procedure requires removal of the large rear differential/cradle bolt using a 24mm socket.
• The front differential bolts are removed using an 18mm socket and wrench.
• Exhaust hanger removal is also part of BMR's installation procedure.
• Because BK060 reduces movement in the factory differential bushings, some increase in drivetrain noise, vibration, and harshness may occur compared with a completely stock mounting arrangement.
• BMR BK059 completely replaces the factory differential bushings with solid aluminum bushings and requires removal of the OE bushings.
• BMR BK058 is the polyurethane replacement differential bushing option and is sold separately.
• For customers wanting reduced differential movement without completely replacing the OE bushings, BK060 provides the less invasive lockout-style option.
• Always support the vehicle and differential properly during installation.
• Professional installation is recommended for customers unfamiliar with drivetrain and differential mounting components.
