Front IFS Diff support BUSHINGS
Bushings for front differential support brackets to frame rail
I was at the dealer today
they wanted over $200 for these 2 bushings
I realize they are integral to the metal brackets But WOW...
I have access to a donor truck, bushings are shot on it too....
So Im asking yotatech
Are there any known good replacement options?
Or am I stuck with the $250 tag at the steelership?
Im open to anything really....
solid conversion
OR poly
OR even an aftermarket part?
Part #'s
51260-35021
51250-35011
**note**
Can some please verify that the parts catalog
on toyodiy.com is NOT FUNCTIONING.
Ive been having issues with my laptop.
Im hoping its not the site....
**note**
Thanks ALL!

are you kidding me!
these little things cost that much!
(minus the diff drop of course )
geez... there's got to be some kinda poly bushings out there that'll fit...
I'm curious about this too now

I was quoted a "deal" on these parts from local steelership...
These prices do NOT include tax at 7%
51260-35021 >$89.04
51250-35011 >$114.00
Im with you
there MUST be some poly that "fits"
Just need to figure what application its from
So we have a part # to share
I have been on the phone with my machinist
we can cut some poly for cheep.
That might be the rut I take if there is no quick solutions here....
GOOD!!!
the more people that see this
the quicker we can find an answer!!!
I know theres 100's of threads about front ends shaking while
in 2wd with the hubs locked... mine does it and these are the reason why!

The bushing is not just flat like you see in the pic
(between the bracket and the washer)
It is pressed internal for the depth of bracket....
its like a control arm bushing
pressed into the bracket
has a internal sleeve
in this case one side of the sleeve is also the washer
real simple stuff
cant justify $200
lookn for solutions

Since this thread is going so well
I guess Im off to the machine shop
with empty brackets (burnt out old bushings.. )
McMaster Carr is a 1/2 hour drive
pick up the poly blocks at will call this AM.
have machine shop "cut" the cylinders from the poly blocks
bring them back home and press them into the brackets
Problem solved for $25....
Pics might happen.
might not.....
Is there enough interest for the effort of build pics?
or am I typing to my self like usual?

dude, looking at the mounts closer (have a front diff with mounts here on the floor). I see they are like part of the metal bracket they are fused , glued or melted into the metal bracket or something like that but they are not pressed in . I may be wrong but when you buy them from the dealer I think you get the metal bracket with the rubber in it ,not just the rubber alone.

U are correct
the rubber is "Fuzed" into a metal "CAN"
the metal body if the "can" is then pressed into the bracket
U are correct again
When u order the part it includes the bracket and such.
thats ALL garbage
Ill get something up once complete

Front axle bushings do not equal differential bushings.
When you order the front bushing (horizontal), it comes with an entire diff cover plate.
The rear bushings come with a whole bracket. My donor diff came with 2 new brackets/bushings, and the third was missing. The bushing on my original equipment was totally thrashed, and I looked around for replacements for a while, and finally just ordered to get the stupid thing done. My thinking on this is, the OEM bushing lasted 230k miles...so I'm not going to have to replace this one again...
