Front diff mount replacement bushings. Another plastics guy first.

send a PM, he replied to me within a day.

 

Hi all,

Does anyone know if these are still available? PMd and haven't heard anything back.

What have your experiences been like with these replacement bushings?

 

Thanks for the very quick reply running man! Out of curiousity, were the bushings for your tacoma or your 4runner? I am hoping to put it on a 3rd gen Hilux Surf (which has the same front diff as the 4runner).

Did you find yourself having to purchase the diff mount stoppers as well while changing these bushings?
Thanks

 

No, the upper part of the bushings were still in good condition on mine. You can easily inspect them to see if they need to be replaced or not.

 

Have you gotten your order yet? I realize it’s been 4 months, but I placed an order Nov 25 and have not seen or heard anything yet. His last post was August 12.

 

So apparently he no longer checks TacomaWorld because "I’m never on TW and won’t support the forum anymore because they won’t respond to my vendor requests." - His words via email

Anyway, I ordered during the black friday 15% sale (end of Nov) but havne't heard anything further since. I emailed him today to find out about the order status, so lets see what i hear back

EDIT: Received today 17th Dec 2019 from

"Just want to give you a quick update on your order with us as I see we are very late getting it shipped out to you. We had a few equipment issues that are now resolved and we are again at full production. I will have your order shipping out this Wednesday 12-18. Once it’s on the way you will receive a separate email with tracking info. I appreciate your patience and hope you are having a great week!"

 

Yep, I just got the same reply, so good times are ahead. Can’t wait to get these bushings replaced.

 

Are you selling anymore of these and will they fit my 92 pickup? What's all included for the $55, 2 bushings? Thanks !

 

@CedarPark since your not axle swapping any time soon

 

Will you be creating any 8" clam diff mount bushings?

 

I know i am almost 2 years to late. But i am looking for some bushing if you are still making them

Ah, even better.

 

Anyone know of any active discount codes?

 

Are you planning on making diff mount bushings for third gen tacos?

 

Ordered for 1st Gen '97 Taco. My OEM diff. mount bushings are definitely showing their age. Plastics Guy emailed that they are about 2 weeks out right now.

 

word of advice - keep the torch going evenly and take your time until you hear it pop a bit (separating itself). Pry before you hear it start to pop its just going to be a huge mess. Also, don't let the bushing catch on fire.

 

Appreciate the advice! As you suggested, lots of even heat was the trick to getting the old bushings out. Mount brackets were cleaned up then repainted. A good bit of Dawn made for quick installation of the new bushings. They pushed right in by hand. Easy-peasy!

EDIT: Ordered on Aug 22nd and received on Sept. 1. Excellent service and communications!
