Help needed Leaking bush or brace ( I think ) ........

Postby THERB3 » Thu Apr 19, 2012 6:59 pm

Hi guys,

I don't know what the actually part is called but it's the brace at the rear of my wagon that has bushes in them. It is infront of the rear diff. One of them is slightly leaking.
How much to replace or is there an upgrade option ?

Here are a few shots of that leaking part. I was wondering if it was a Diff mount front bushing or mount in cradle bushing that whiteline provide. Part number KDT905 or KDT906.
Would be great if anyone knows.
Rang Centreline about it and they said its funny that the bushers are oil filled for the rears........

Thats a press fit bush so you will have to take it off the car.

Definitely looks to be leaking. Cant confirm if those ones are oil filled, but I didnt think those ones were. Definitely seems like a centralised leak to the bush??

There was a discussion a month or so about these bushes leaking. It was confirmed at the time that they are oil filled. I'll try to find the thread...

You will have to remove the support as those bushes are press fitted.

If you have access to a press, its very easy.

If you can do without the car for a day, bring the support and the new bushes over and I can do it at work for you.

Otherwise, pull it out, take it and the bushes to Pedders in Hoppers and they'll do it for you on the spot for $50+. At least you can do it on a Saturday then and not have the car off the road for work.
