Why is there a restocking fee?

Well the first reason is that it was in the terms and conditions on checkout. However there is a better reason.  Honest companies charge restocking fees for a very simple reason: to keep costs (and thus prices for you) down when dealing with the return of items that are not defective. There are a lot of costs associated with processing an order. If you buy something and then return it, there is more costs to handle the return.

All returns must be thoroughly inspected when received back at the warehouse to ensure they are in 100% resalable condition. New packaging materials usually need to be utilized because it is typically only designed to be used two times (initial use and possible return shipment). Time and materials involved inspecting, repackaging and restocking are not insignificant. The bottom line is restocking fees help keep prices low for you!  

For this reason we do not accept returns on any used or previously installed products. We will not sell used products to our customers who are expecting brand new Garagistic parts. At times we may have to charge a higher restocking fee on a return if the parts are damaged during the return shipping. It is your responsibility to ensure the safe arrival of the parts you are returning to us. Thanks!

 

E46 (NON-M) COMPLETE SOLID DELRIN DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER BUSHING SET - 33176751808, 33176770788

The E46 (non-M), X3 and Z4 all have 3 diff bushings holding the differential. 2 smaller ones in the front, and one bigger rear bushing. Those BMW part numbers are 33176751808 (big rear carrier bushing) and 33176770788 FOR THE SMALL DIFF BUSHINGS. A bad or failed differential bushing should be replaced right away to avoid drivetrain damage. No to mention the thumping can get annoying very quick!

A failed diff bushing will often result in a loud bump coming from the rear of the car. It sounds like there is something trying to escape out of the trunk of your car. Well, that's a sure sign of a worn/failed rear diff bushing. If you speak in BMW part numbers, then that's 33176751808. This is the poly replacement for that bushing. This is the last diff bushing you will ever need to buy for your non-m E46.

This is the solid Delrin version Garagistic E46 diff bushing. We also make them in polyurethane for street and track applications. Both versions come with an aluminum insert as the factory did. Improvements will be felt in throttle response and the ability to transfers more power to the wheels. As always, they have the Garagistic lifetime guarantee.

Garagistic 14mm Bolt Upgrade:

If you plan on doing any serious driving, make sure to click the dropdown and select our Garagistic M14 Bolt Upgrade - a tried and tested solution to weak stock diff bolts! Made using class 12.9 steel, it boasts remarkable tensile strength, standing at least 25% stronger than the mediocre medium-strength steel screws used in stock bolts. This impressive enhancement in strength ensures that the bolt can handle the aggressive forces encountered on the track, offering you unmatched durability and performance.

*Note: This upgrade comes with a bushing pre-drilled to 14mm for ease of installation.

 

Save yourself a lot of time by getting the tools to do this job with ease! No need to burn the bushings out in most cases, we use this kit for almost every bushing removal/installation: https://amzn.to/3ooRNdv

SHOULD I USE POLY OR DELRIN IN MY E46 DIFF BUSHING?

We have this diff bushing available in 80a (soft poly), 95a (hard poly) and full-on Delrin. The stock E46 rear diff bushing is meant for that comfort. Its meant to be quite. So BMW allows for a little bit of movement for the sake of comfort. However, with its "floating" design it can fail under normal street use let alone any kind of performance driving. So we have the perfect solution. 80a soft poly is for that OEM + feel. That means you want a subtle upgrade for your street E46 without too much of a compromise in comfort, these are a happy medium. 80a are designed for the street enthusiast. 95a is great for dual purpose aggressive street and track applications. Delrin bushings are generally best for race applications only.
