    You only need 1 front diff mount, not 2.
    Rear diff mount/cover you need 2.

      If not, I'd suspect and RTAB issue before anything else.
      I don't want to sidetrack this much but is this common knowledge about the V12s? I bought this car with V12s already on it, not much tread left so new tires are in the future.

          Not saying this is necessarily your "major" issue, but I'd make the future now. When I put V12's on, I couldn't get them off fast enough. Hideous tires.

            It's interesting Obioban mentioned the hankook v12s. When I first got my car at 88k miles, it needed all the common bushings replaced. But what dialed the car in the most was switching from v12s to Michelin PSS. I mean like swaying side to side at 120mph on the highway to rock solid in the same situation. My rtabs are up for replacement again and it reminds of those days and the v12s.

                it should be pointed out that, while the V12s were some really sloppy tires, Hankook fixed all of those issues with the updated V12 Evo2

                it's still not the best tire you can buy, but its no longer a bad tire you shouldn't buy. they dont even sell the original version people love to hate anymore

                    I'm one of those "first impression is a lasting impression" kinda guys, so I'll not visit again. My mistake for going away from Michelin's in the first place. Lesson learned.

                      same here, but it's not saying that hankooks should never be considered based on your usage needs. their RS3/RS4 offerings have been a go-to option for many track rats

                        Fair enough. I don't track, so....

                          I’ve had to learn the not Michelin lesson 3 times. Hoping I leaned it enough to not learn it a 4th time.

                            The Evo2 was a big, big improvement for sure.

                              Punched out RTAB caused by what? How common is this?

                                Caused by regular wear up to the point of total failure.

                                It's common enough but that's why regular inspections are recommended. To catch and replace things before they get to that point.
