How many miles do you have on your ECGS bushing?

Many of you have swapped out the driver's side front differencial needle bearing with the East Coast Gear Supply (ECGS) bushing.

At what mileage did you do the swap and how many miles do you now have on your ECGS bushing?

 

I probably have close to 20k on the bushing

 

20k

 

50k on the 4Runner. No issues.

 

40K

 

About 800 miles works like a charm

 

Probably 1500mi right now.

I think some have reported over 100k with no issues.

 

Im getting close to 90k miles on mine. No issues. BIG thread on the ecgs bushing in 2nd gen

20k

 

Only 200 mile on mine so far

 

10 miles on mine with no issues! Just had it installed by my dealer yesterday to take care of the steering wheel rumble strip vibration problem, and it worked like a charm.

 

20k miles at the install, 40k miles on it now.

 

Hmmm...I telephoned my dealer a week ago and asked if they've ever done the job. It seemed like I was talking Chinese. They had no idea there was a problem or an aftermarket fix.

 

Well, my story is a long one. Dealer installed lift, wheel, and tires. Brought it to their attention late last year in relation to the TSB put out for the "groaning/grinding" front differential, and they refused to do anything. Called Toyota Corporate and opened a case. That got it taken care of, and at no charge to me.

 

What did the dealer charge you for the job?

 

Nice...Well, my lift was not a dealer install. Thanks.

 

Dealer will probably not know about it or acknowledge it as a weakness. If anything they might change a failed bearing with the same inferior needle bearing.

Might need to take it to a specialty shop so you should call around to see if they're familiar with it.

Dont call it the ECSG bushing, refer to it and the needle bearing replacement with an aftermarket bushing.

 

About 20k on my 2nd gen.

 

swapped bearing for bushing at about 7k miles. up to about 65k now. still no play or noise

 

45k miles on mine and no issues.
