Hey, I'm just dropping diff an inch, noticed where the diff support mounts to the sub frame seems a bit rediculous... Almost looks like it's missing a peice to flatten everything out???
Is there a little rubber spacer that sits on top of the diff support bushing??

Pics to follow.

 

Very strange. See below:

Raised lip - missing isolator?

Looks a bit dumb.

 

Better pics would help...

I'm pretty sure that is correct. The isolator is the rubber hanging out of the bottom. The center sleeve mates hard against the frame and is the inner barrel the bolt rides in. Then the bushing isolates between that inner sleeve and the big hole of the diff. If you put a bushing between that middle tube and the frame you wouldn't have a solid foundation to anchor the bushing between the diff and the mount.

 

So, it turns out there is supposed to be a bushing there, but it's been discontinued and there are 0 left in the world. No aftermarket option either.



41654A is literally just a steel washer (which I have), 41653B is what I am after, both are called "diff bushing stopper" in toyota literature. According to my vin, I need 4165335010

 

DuroBumps

Thanks. The only problem with the durobumps (which have this peice built in) is I cant be assed to put in the work to get the old mounts out of the metal bracket.....
However, someone else discovered the part was at some point superceded by pn 416530c010
Stealership got 2 out of kentucky on the way, so ez fix.
