04-07 CTS-V Rear Differential Bushing

Replaces the front bushing (closest to driveshaft) in the rear differential. Only 1 needed per car.

This differential bushing replaces the low quality, OEM CTS-V bushing in the FRONT of the rear differential. If there is a “clunking” sound coming from the rear of your car as you are on and off of the clutch while driving slowly, the failure of your front differential bushing is the probable cause.

The material that the factory used for these bushings is very soft, they left considerable air space in the bushing and this bushing is under tremendous strain during vehicle acceleration, these three points lead to the early demise of the factory bushing. Our replacement bushings are made using a urethane material that is stronger than the OEM rubber and the bushing is 100% filled (no air space) which minimizes deflection between the inner core and outer shell of the bushing.

We offer 2 hardnesses of this bushing-

Black daily driver- The black daily driver bushing is for those that want to retain the factory comfort level. While it does give similar comfort, it is much stronger than the OEM bushing. We suggest the black daily driver bushing to 75% of our customers.

Red Race- The red race version of this bushing is for those that need something a little stronger. If  you are racing, drifting, or just like to drive your car hard, we suggest you choose the race red version. The red race bushing may increase NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels.

17 reviews for 04-07 Cadillac CTS-V Rear Differential Bushing

  1. RyeV – June 12, 2011

    Great product, even better service. Rented the install tool to install this, and so far, went from massive clunk to no clunk.

    Definitely recommend that any V owner do this mod. My stock bushing was half gone when I removed it.

  2. Steve M – August 18, 2011

    High quality part and exceptional customer service!!!

    Clunk is gone!!!

    I would recommend this to anyone with a V!!

  3. Lyn – February 26, 2013

    If you are reading this, you probably have the rear end clunk in your CTS-V. Don’t waste any more time, order this immediately. The clunk in my 04 was completely eliminated, making the car so much more enjoyable to drive around town. The installation tool helps a lot too, I recommend that you rent it. I wish I had done this years ago.

  4. Matt R – March 20, 2013

    I can actually drive my car hard again without worrying that something would bang. The car feels much more planted around corners and at launch.

  5. Remi – October 28, 2013

    Diff bushing completely gone on my 05 V.Did this in the driveway with a limited tool box. Access is kind of tight but the repair was not bad thanks to the tool. If you are going to make this repair rent the tool. Dont forget the threadlock for reinstalling the drive shaft. I had to make a run to the hardware store still got it done in under 2 hours.

  6. Jonathan Ruhe – July 28, 2014

    This bushing removed the clunk coming from the rear of the car just as advertised. I felt no additional vibration coming from the street hardness bushing.

  7. Rich N – December 22, 2014

    Replaced the diff bushing on Saturday. Access to the three 21mm bolts limited wrench cranking to about a quarter turn, but rear bolts did come out easy. Renting the tool is a MUST to get the old bushing sleeve out and the new one in – worked great. Creative Steel provided a great product and answered alot of questions before I even made the purchase – fantastic service. Feels like a completely different car – no clunk!!

  8. Steven S – April 1, 2015

    No more clunk when engaging the clutch under load! The car is now nice and quiet while shifting through the gears. Went with the black, and NO bushing block. Couldn’t be happier.

  9. Andrew G – November 6, 2015

    I picked up my V with 94K miles on it and I had the standard clunky noise when shifting. Replaced the rear diff bushing and all is better. Had to shop around for a mechanic that would replace it without following the book which states that the entire rear-end has to be removed… if you don’t do it yourself, just tell the mechanic they can get to this bushing by disconnecting the drive shaft and rotating the rear diff down. Cost me about 45 minutes in labor to install it and my car feels awesome. If you have the clunking sound when shifting then get this part installed. Also, customer service from CS is great. I’m about to order the CS motor and trans mounts 🙂

  10. Blane Sanders – November 16, 2015

    My old bushing fell out in 2 pieces. Obviously the “clunk” had become unbearable. Installation of this new bushing was straight-forward when using the rented removal/installation tool. The only difficult part is lining up the 2 rear differential bolts again after you removed them to drop the differential. Required a little lifting/lowering of the jack to align the holes properly. Other than that, it’s just slow-going while wrenching long bolts 1/4 turn at a time. Do not attempt to do this work without renting their tool.

  11. alexander – April 26, 2016

    Did mine with out the tool please do your self a favor and save time just rent the tool

  12. Chris Meier – September 13, 2016

    I am purchasing my second Race bushing as I needed to change the diff in my Miata project to lower gear and a posi. Fast shipping and clear instructions make replacing the part stress free. I did not need the tool as my diff was out already but I can see where it helps.
    Don’t play games and risk cracking your diff, buy the bushing, rent the tool, and do the job right the first (and last) time!

  13. Jason – February 24, 2018

    Don’t be scared of your V or the work! I waited a year to change this because I didn’t want to drop the whole rear. What a mistake! Drop the exhaust and then drop the rear with only 3 bolts! Change and put back together. 2 hours flat and how silly I feel for waiting so long……

  14. Jesse Romero – June 15, 2018

    Great Product, I purchased the Differential Bushing along with the Differential Block and let me tell you, I finally enjoy driving my V again. Noise and Clunking are GONE!!!! Will definitely be buying all my mounts through them and possibly the 8.8 rear end kit in the future. The customer service is unmatched, I was literally on the phone with them for about 20 minutes and answered all my questions and never did they once seem aggravated. Thank you Creative Steel for having great customer service to go with your amazing products!!!!

    Tom Z. – July 16, 2020

    I just had this part installed and for the frist time since new the “Clunk” and drive train laxity is gone What a well engineered solution!

  17. Rated 5 out of 5

    Eric Malimban (verified owner) – January 22, 2021

    My diff went out in my 05 V with only 20K miles on it. Got the race red, and it helped reduce a lot of wheel hop.

    Thought something was extremely wrong with my car, the clunk when stepping on the clutch, and me being young wanting to power shift my Lac.

    Now I want to get more bushings and mounts.
