Front Diff Mount Bushes (Front)

[Chook]

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know where I can get aftermarket front diff mount bushes for the front of the diff ??

Cheers,
Chook

factory ones are not pricey i have done mine

It looks like you have to change the whole bracket though (Like the crossmember one)

I tried to call my dealer yesterday for a price/availability but he didn't call back........... Which dealer did you get yours from Skippy ??

I think it's better to get new factory ones. Replacing then is a PITA. I've done it twice and neither time was easy, pretty or cost-effective vs new OEM brackets.

In seven years I've broken 0 drivers side ones and 2 passenger side ones, a pretty low rate I think.

I worked through this with Dwaine and there wasn't much upside to producing these bushings, at least not in a consumer friendly package.

Hi Chook...I have replacements ones which I did when I had the H3...would be in the build somewhere. I made them as 2 piece so once you have initally replaced them you don't have to rip the whole thing apart.

Didn't want my Hummer off the road while I waited.

As a temporary fix I did some research & found bushes which were close.

Then shopped around till I could find any that were in stock.

Ended up Pedders Suspension @ Geebung they had "EP6626" in stock (same as Nolathane 45626) which are for a Ford Focus Control Arm

I had to cut off 5mm off ea Bushing & 10mm off the crushpin for a nice snug fit.
