Transaxle Diff Mount R & R
I'm changing the transaxle seals and the rear diff mount bushing was toast. I removed the old one, cleaned out the hole and went to re-install. It went in by pushing 80% and then tapping with a hammer. From the old forum, there's a comment showing a homebrew install press device. Shouldn't this bushing be tight to prevent lateral movement? I think mine went in TOOOOOOOOO EASY!!!

Guru,
It took quite a shove and medium tapping with the hammer. It just seems like this bushing should take more pressure to install. I noticed the construction of this bushing is different than most. It has rubber ribs on the outer shell lining.
Your suggestion of locking screws may be the ticket. I just don't trust it's current setting. This car will be seriously tracked.

I wouldn't be too worried about that, the bushing won't take that much lateral load and it won't go anywhere if it moves.
Drilling a hole and putting a screw through that quite brittle aly casting is probably not such a good idea either, if that breaks you will have more problems then if the casing touches the body mount.
