Front Differential mount or brackets..

[forcefed44]

So I have come to a pass here and don't know what else to do when it comes to these parts. I went to the local Dealership to see if they had replacement front differential bracket bushings available and they say they are discontinued..

Dillemma: 02 Renegade 3.7 Auto 231. Front differential rocks as bushings are worn under acceleration and slight clunk when coming to stop.

It's not the front end, it's not CV's, D/S, Engine or transmission mounts.. In the hunt for it, I replace them all. So I finally come to these as I was poking around under the front end after taking off the front skid shied.. Noticed there was major flex from the front diff and 3 out of the 4 bracket bushings are cracked. Where can you get these or anything in regards to. Someone has to have done these recently since the dealer said that they discontinued the parts 5 years ago.

Thanks...

Yes been at least 5 years since they stopped
I was lucky enough to get a full set from a friend who worked at a dealership.( No you can't have them, hoarding them ) :icon_razz:
Someone said at one time 2-3 years ago they thought they found bushings that would work but then never posted again:emotions34:
I know when they wear out there are some strange noises coming out of that area . Had one friend whose were so loose you could move the whole front diff with your hands .
But good luck, seems some dealer may have some stuck away someplace

52059465ac center mount out of stock everywhere I looked
Same for ds mount 52059467ac.
salvage yard might be your best bet.

Yeah my dealer quoted $795 per bracket.. Hell no.. I think I am just going to get my shop machinist to mock something up and order a bunch of bushings and see what works.

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about those anymore.

Well this is not what I wanted to read... anybody know of anything aftermarket for these parts?
