H3 Need help finding old write up.

[ReconH3]

A while back somebody wrote a post about how they did a fix for noisy body mounts. He gave detailed write up of the tools and the size of the rubber he used. I have looked for it everywhere, but have lucked out. He wrote how he cut out some rubber disks that he used to add some preload on the factory body mounts. It was a great a idea that I want to do. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Shoot, I don't recall that thread. My method has been to simply clean them with high pressure water to get out the dirt and, if needed, some lithium grease to keep them lubricated.

YES! Thanks so much Big! I did every search possible and could not find it. For a moment I thought it could be on the old forum. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately that's only a bandaid solution. If you don't preload the mounts, the spacers, frame mounts, and bolts will wear out permanently, leading to a much bigger problem down the road. This is really a great fix. Sort of like the Scorpworks steering rack bracket.
