H3 differential mount bushings?

[rsm688]

Okay guys well I got the upgrade Scorpworks 4x4 diff crossmemeber/bushing, I want to replace my axle side mount bushings as well. The bushings in the two metal brackets on the side of the diff housing and the end of the axle tube. Does anyone know where these can be purchased? I don't see them on any of the online parts places, that specific part number is not listed on the list of items for sale for any of the dealers. I saw outfitters design has a full kit for $200 but I only need the side bushings and not anything for the crossmember. Any suggestions?


Thanks
Spencer

I heard Outfitter Design won't sell just the outboard bushings. (Too bad...arguably a bigger problem than the crossmember bushing). So, I guess you need to find another source or make your own. Several forum people have made their own before...try doing a search. I'm pretty sure Nugget and maybe another guy from Australia had a source for them down under.

Best plan is probably to blow the old ones out with a torch...get some urethane stock, and turn the O.D. down so they will press in to the sleeves...then drill em & install a steel inner sleeve...bolt em back on the truck. I know the stock ones have a goofy inner sleeve that also doubles as a washer, and all that will probably have to go. Whatever you come up with...it will surely work better than the original design. Not hard to improve on that.

PCF is now rebuilding the axle end brackets. The brackets are rebuilt with the ScorpWorks bushing design and sold exchange. Cores are in short supply so we can recondition your brackets as well.

Alright! I'm due. Let me know when I can get a set and I'll stop by the shop.

I saw Dwaine make a set of these and they are the last set of side axle bushings your H3/H3T will ever need, not mention the PCF front diff bushing!

When I read your initial post, it looked like you were looking for the stock bushings. They are not available as a separate piece. They are only available as part of the bracket, so I'd personally go with the OD or now apparently PCF as an option.

So there are no OEM replacement bushings available? I've already done the cross member.

I have the outfitter design differential bushings and they are top notch. If you already have the PCF crossmember bushing, I am sure you could sell the outfitter design one to someone that needed just that one.

 

[Bigunit]

PCF has them too.

Not asking this to be argumentative, but to know the reasoning. If I recall there was a big debate on this and PCF's stance was that the crossmember bushing was the issue and the outboard ones were fine as is and did not need to be addressed. What changed?

Pretty simple. The first set was made a few years ago - way before anyone else came out with them on the market and they have withstood the test of time with thousands of miles on them. A lot of customers love PCF products so much and have been asking Dwaine to make them, so he did. Just another way to reward current brand loyal customers and to give the consumer another option.
