Front Differential Support Arm Bushing Replacement

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ *PLEASE READ THIS VIDEO DESCRIPTION FOR HELPFUL INFORMATION* In this video we show you how to replace the bushings for the front differential support arms. Toyota doesn't make replacement bushings for this application. Toyota only sells the complete arms which cost a decent amount of money. So, luckily for us the Durobump company decided to start manufacturing bushings so we could save money by just replacing the bushings rather than the whole arms. These bushings will work for 3rd Gen 4runners and 1st Gen Tacomas. *Durobump Front Differential Bracket Bushings* https://durobumps.com/products/dbbus1 *TORQUE VALUES* Long crossmember bolts - 101 ft-lbf Support arm bolts (connect support arm to diff) - 116 ft-lbf **If you don't want to go through the process of replacing the bushings, here's the part numbers for the Differential Support Arms: **Right Differential Carrier Support Arm: #52380-35040 https://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/par... **Left Differential Carrier Support Arm: #52380-35050 https://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/par... **If you found that your upper insulators need replacing: Front support upper insulator #41653-35030 https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/t... *HELPFUL TOOLS* If you're looking for other tools not used in this video, check out Timmy's Master Tool List. https://www.amazon.com/shop/timmythet... *6 Ton Jack Stands - (strong stands to safely support your vehicle.
