Faulty New Diff Bush(S) = Diff Damage?

[Roof]

Bolt feels solid, and pic shows the bush has come away from the sleeve / tubing, looks like a manufacture fault. Pat supplied these bushes in November 2010 and is sending me a new one to be put in next week and I'll have a full diagnosis then when it's on a hoist as I can't get my axle stand safely in there. Car has done 9000km's of mainly highway cruising with a little squirt in 2nd here and there - quite sedate!

Watch this space....

Was there any warning ie noises etc, prior to it letting go? This looks nasty, how driveable was it with it like this?

Hopefully the ones I have in my car(done July this year) are from a different batch. I've only done 1500km since they were fitted, next time I get a wheel alignment done by WA Suspension I'll get them to double check the bush.

No warning, little vibration of driveline.. mainly when taking foot off accelerator, crawled it home 2km's and very lucky I wasn't far away, could of happened the day before on my 300km trip home from Perth!
