    Hello everyone. I'm trying to find the name of this mount/bushing shown in the photos. I can't find a diagram that shows me what this part is called. The bushings appear worn, and I'd like to find new ones but have no clue what they're called.

    Thanks for any help!

    These would be the part numbers (or reference numbers) if they sold the parts separately- but apparently, you can only buy the whole assembly at $104 (toyota msrp).

    @Timmah! Has a video (https://youtu.be/KpkzuDFvSW0) and more details on how to replace these bushings.

    Just ordered a set. Thanks for the quick help. I didn't know I had a diff drop on this until just now. Now I know why my skid plate doesn't fit properly

    The jury is still out on the effectiveness of the diff drop. I ran one way back in the day.. but when I got my Demello skid plate, the diff drop had to go. I didn't notice a difference in the longevity of the CV boots either way.
