    Yes. They have been replaced at both the 5000 and 10000 mile services.

    Wouldn’t hurt. They tried to originally tell me it was my aftermarket exhaust which I know wasn’t the case but they did figure it out. Will have to see how long this set lasts

    OP, thanks for the write up and clear instructions. Made changing out the bushings pretty easy.

    I have ~20,000 miles on my OR and my bushings were shot. The metal sleeves were trashed and appeared to be scored/scratched on the inside.

    I'm hoping the Energy bushings fix the intermittent clunking I sometimes hear/feel from the RF.

    For those who had this fixed by the dealer, was there a cost to replace the body mount bushing? My 2020 started squeaking around 2000 miles (or less) and is almost due for 5000 mile maintenance.

    So the dealer said they didn't hear anything, of course so I figured I'd wait until it was undeniable. But I was under the truck installing a Pop & Lock for the tailgate and I'm pretty sure now the noise is coming from the spare tire mount. I reckon I didn't crank it back in place tight enough the last time I put it up.

    Great job OP-- Read through the entire thread and after some research I come back with 2 kits from ES I'm looking at. Has anyone installed the 9.4102R kit?

    1. This seems to be the kit most are using,
    Energy Suspension 9.4101R Universal Mount. https://cutt.ly/QgPqMkQ


    2. This kit seems beefier with more poly within the sleeve and on the mounts--
    Energy Suspension 9.4102R Universal Mount https://cutt.ly/mgPqGSv
    I was thinking this might help with a small amount of front end leveling after an aftermarket bumper install as the upper mount is beefier.

    I can now confirm that the squeaking I heard was due to the spare tire being slightly loose. I cranked it up good and tight and the sound went away. After the guy at Toyota said I shouldn't have that issue on the 2020 body mounts because they (apparently?) changed the mounts, it got me looking for the noise elsewhere. So if you've got a 2020, give your spare tire a good shove and see if it squeaks.

    If you have a lot of squeaks, or even just 1, Get the truck sprayed with juice like Corrosion Free, Krown, etc. I've never had any because it it.

    My 2 1/2 cents worth
