Mazda 6 MPS differential mounts

[kmh001]

I went with turbine tech/sure dreadnaught, which I now regret because the dreadnaught has proven to be flimsy and is now bent, which caused the rear diff to become misaligned which caused a broken axle. If you look end-on at the dreadnaught and compare it to the cpe it's easy to see where the weakness in the dreadnaught is. SURE have now completely changed the design of the dreadnaught. It looks impressive until you discover it's made of aluminium. The same flimsiness is apparent when you compare their juggernaught to the turbine tech. Not to mention that in my opinion after sales service at SURE stinks.

I recommend going with the turbine tech/CPE combo.

if going cpe it seems one is forced to use MPS garage who want some 600$ for the part, so they can naff off on that one.

whats the best way to get the turbine tech/cpe combo without it costing an arm and a leg?

A shipping agent who receives the item at a US address then forwards it to AUS?

I assume I have the dreadnaught 1, because it's very different to the one they sell now. Can't say that I'm a fan of the newer design either. The aluminium is more brittle and the tongue and slot arrangement places the weakest part of the mount where the highest stresses occur. Looks like it could be a sheer point.

As luck would have it, I'm currently working on an investigation with a fellow who has a PhD in metallurgy. He was captive in my car for a couple of hours today while we drove to an accident site, so I picked his brains about my diff mount problem. He spoke about granular structure and cross-sectional modulus. It was all dutch to me but I managed to understand how to double the strength of the mount. So I'm confident that I made the right decision in repairing and strengthening the dreadnaught 1.
