Opinions on these Bushings… Front differential, radiator support

So I see lots of ppl talk about cab mount bushings and radiator bushings going out way more often than the front differential support arms bushings. I’ve taken a few pics of my radiator support bushings and to me they look very good and tbh I’m surprised bc the truck has 150k miles on it now. On the other hand My front diff bushings look toasted imo. I don’t hear of these being replaced nearly as often but I know if the differential is moving around that could cause some premature wear on cv axles.

I have never heard of the diff bushings having issues here.

The rad support / front body mount ones are the main issue, but the problem is not externally visible. Pic in a second.

I know folks that have had front body mounts making noise at less than 1k. I highly recommend the Rogue Offroad poly kit:

At about 55k:

 

Which bushings are pictured above? I have a set of the universal energy suspension radiator supports that came in today

 

The ones in the pic are my Stock ones.

At that time, I did put in the Energy Universal ones, but doing so made the rear one squeak in the rain. This is because cab alignment is the root cause of the entire problem. The Rogue Kit has no adjustment. The cab just slides into the right spot and things line up perfectly. I have had those for 15k now.

Here's a big old thread with lots of info that we did for two GB rounds:

Your radiator support bushings look great because they aren't factory. They're aftermarket Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings...

The front diff mount bushings aren't known to be a problem. If anything the bolt can tear itself from the frame, but the rubber bushings are ok...

 

Sorry guys! I was seeing pink elephants. Loooong day.


Please hit me next time.

 

I wanna buy once cry once so I’ll go with these. Don’t my radiator bushings look good though?

 

Cheers!

Sorry about the confusion!

 

There is no way. I bought the truck with 1,858 miles and never replaced the bushings on it ever

 

No you’re good! I appreciate the feedback and the recommendation

 

Unless the dealer put bushings on this truck with less than 2k miles before I bought it or the original owner who drove it for 2k miles there is no way they’re not orginal bushings. I bought the truck with 1,858 miles on it

 

Did you sweep the interior with a black light? Previous owner may have made babies in the back seat, front seat, bed...

 

What is toasted about your diff bushings? They look normal in the pictures.

 

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not but I agree they look a lot like the energy suspension ones I got in today. To be clear the truck has 150k miles on it now and I bought it with one thousand eight hundred fifty eight miles on it so even if they put them on before I bought it they’d still be 148,842 miles on the current bushings in the pics. I’ve never changed anything but sway bar bushings twice and I do all the work on my own
