    Hey there,

    I’ve got front Diff vibes and I’m looking to install an ECGS bushing.

    Does anyone have a shop they can recommend? Or alternatively, is anyone else looking to replace theirs and want to tackle the job together?

    I am going to buy the puller and bushing. Located in Tucson

    I'm not doing this yet but I know a great shop in town. Mike there knows 4x4s and has served me well. It's called alignment brake and suspension specialist but they do anything.

    ECGS Bushing/Seal and Puller on the way. Anyone is welcome to use it, we can keep it in rotation across AZ.

    I’d like to eventually do this in the future as well. Probably within the next 10k miles which will happen to be my diff fluid interval anyways. I have little mechanical experience other than basic maintenance but would like to do this if feasible. Would even be willing to meet up if you need a hand or vice versa.

    Was just thinking of doing mine. Not sure what to order... Need to do some searching. Let me know if you end up doing it yourself or end up going to a shop.

    Hey Joe, I've got the vibes too in the front end. It became noticeable after the lift. I bought the bushing, but have yet to install it. I'd be happy to team up to participate/help in a bearing removal/bushing install day. If you and DillonBarron have already done this, I'd be super appreciative to utilize your puller to do mine and another TW member's here in Tucson.

    Do I smell a mod day in the future? If so, I’ve got the beer and pizza covered!

    Full-blown Mod Day? I could sure use some extra hands (and minds) to help install an OBA system and run some electrical if any are so inclined.

    I would be down. I have been crazy busy with work though and I’m about to start an 8 day on 4 day off schedule. I will let you guys know when works for me in the next few days.

    Just to come back up on the ‘net’ here, I’m in town for this week and next if eithe or both of you guys can get together to knock these bushings in.

    How about it? I’m willing to get to it during the week as well. At this point my Taco is pretty noisy and has quite a bit of play in the axle near the diff...it’s soooooo ready.

    I should be back in town 4/12-4/17. I would be down to bang this out too. Does anyone have a slide hammer?

    I don’t have one...

    Would this be for popping the transaxle loose from the diff?
