Default Diff Mounting,vibration Problems???

Hi all, just about finnished my chassis and I'm about to trial fit the Diff' but it occurs to me that due to the lack of bushing, the book method of mounting the diff must surely lead to vibration through the body? Has anyone any practical experience with a finnished car? I'm considering altering mine to be mounted via bushes but would love any feedback first.
Thanks.

If the bearings in the diff are good and the crown and pinion is all ok the only vibration you should feel is every stone and white line on the road.

Mines done 4k and with a well balanced prop is a smooth beast to drive....
