Polyurethane Radiator Support Mounts (Cab Also)

Good to know. The red ones are cheaper on Amazon but good to know about the black ones. Would it a be idea to lube the black ones anyways? Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to mess this up lol

 

Don't lube them. They don't need it.

 

Thanks again for all the info man I greatly appreciate it. Gonna go with the black set that's linked at the bottom of this thread. Order them up today and install them on the next day off after they come. Again, Thank you so much.

 

So, i ordered these bushing and I kid you not.. the morning of the day they came it stopped creaking... Its been a couple days and nothing... Might have jumped the gun on these I just figured they were the cause of the noises. We'll see if it stays quiet or not. Either way will probably install these soonish since I have them

 

Just replace em regardless of noises or not...stock ones are guarenteed worn through if you have 50+k miles and have gone down a fireroad for more than 5 miles.

 

Yeah I just hit 65k actually. I'll throw them in next week. Thanks for the input

 

Have these in my garage. still haven't replaced them though

 

I also have a set waiting to be installed...

 

Add me to that list.

 

Mine sat for a month or so, I thought it was going to be a lot harder of a job than it was. Really only took like 20-30 minutes

 

I bought them to fix a clunk on someone's recommendation as a possible solution. Then I found the actual clunk. So it's been moved way down my priority list. I'm about to do a big service interval (150k), so I'll probably throw them on there at that time.

 

ok so i ordered the kit today should be here tomorrow and im reading my way through all 60+ pages. got the black universal kit. ive got hood flutter at highway speed like i forgot to latch the hood. i have pelfrey steel bumper up front. what would be the best bet for how to set the washers and bushings up

 

this my best bet?

 

or this

 

I think it's a "your mileage may vary" kind of situation. I have plenty of gap between my bumper and fender, so I plan to put the large bushing on bottom (as recommended by ES). Given your statement about hood flutter, you may consider putting the large one on top as many others have stated gives a little more gap between the bumper and fender (i.e. raises the body slightly).

Though, in all honesty, I don't think this is going to have much, if any, impact on the hood latch.

The more I think about it right now, the more I don't know what I'm talking about....so don't listen to me.

 

haha i read all through it only to be disappointed in the end

 

Just ordered some radiator core support bushings. I swear this place convinces me to buy something everyday. Good thread, btw.

 

For what it's worth, I swapped mine from little on top to big on top after it didn't fix my noise (which was something else alltogether).

BUT, when I put the bigger one on top it did increase the tension of the hood latch on the hood. It doesn't "spring" up anymore after that, I have to pull it slightly. So I'd go big on top first

 

Has anyone tried using these in the transmission mount?
