The diff is therefore free to 'wobble' around on the rubbers under torque. To work you'll have to mimic the power plant frame to diff mount, on the chassis. All rubber mounted diff is never gonna work, the rubbers would have to be very stiff, shore 95+ or something similar. The westfield system is much more robust and they still cracked diff housings.
The diff to power plant frame is the main fixing for the diff.
