Torque Tube Bushings

I believe (through research on here) im in need of TT bushings.

I do not want to go solid and Im looking for a set of decent priced bushings.

Any recommendations?

if your are price shopping, you are going to find you are very limited............RPM TRANSMISSIONS have the aluminum ones in stock. call them and talk to tj. installing them is quite a task............

I know its a pain. Im not 100% sure its the TT bushings though. I just know I have severe drivetrain vibration under load at mid to high RPMs more so at highway speed.

Its not coming from the front.

From what ive read it may be the axles (i hope so) Some guys recommended flipping them to see if it solves it.

I have a vibration also between 3800-4000rpm and then it subsides. Is this what your talking about? Maybe I need bushings too. Am I hurting the engine with this condition?

How rough is your vibration? Mine is pretty bad. It seems worse in between 3500-5k on the highway.

If its subtle, it could be your shifter.

I know mine is not the shifter. The diff mounts look good as well. I checked the motor mounts and the look, ok as well. Maybe Ill check again.

My biggest issue is making sure its the TT BEFORE I pull it all apart. I wish there was a way to check them but from what I hear there is really no way to.
