2023 body bushing fail

Have a 23 off road with 1100 miles on it and the driver bushing is super loud creaking. Warranty will fix but rather use a better part and do all body bushings at once. I drive a lot of bumpy dirt roads so worried about all these crappy OEM bushings. Any recommendations?

 

What exactly is a “driver bushing”? And do you have any pictures? There’s a LOT of trucks here that are very modified and off road all the time with no body mount bushing issues.

 

I would think he means driver side bushing.

there are quite a few trucks here that have had the front body bushing issues that are not modified or heavily, off-road

 

assuming he meant front body mount at the rad support. these are super common to fail and squeak. energy makes a poly replacement

 

Mine started making a intermittent popping sound in the front right after I got it..I have tightened every bushing and bolt under it.. but no change

 

OEM part is poorly designed and inferior material. Common to replace with aftermarket better one like energy

 

My driveway alone is 1/4 mile of dirt, neighboring town has miles of dirt roads (pot holes etc.) same bushing that came with it at 150K what are you guys doing to your poor trucks?

 

has nothing to do with dirt, potholes..just can happen

 

Why on earth would they change all the bushings?

Things happen, they'll replace it.

 

How often do you see this problem ?

 

Yours ever fail?

 

We loosen the bolt, lube it and retighten it. Never see them again.

Maybe changed 1 in the 3rd gen years.

Some dealers will call things to get paid for it, adjustments dont pay much.

 

How’s your timing cover at 150k?

 

Not a leak one the only oil on my engine is from changing the upside down filter.

 

Misaligned cab from the factory pretty common issue, replace the bushing and it will only come back. Real fix is to loosen all the cab mounts while replacing the fronts. Dont put a poly bushing, they are known to crack the radiator support.

 

Yours is a second gen ?

 

Yes 2011 with over 150K

 

hey brother, take some photos so we can help diagnose and suggest a solution

 

With that new of a truck take it back to your dealer dude. They will replace the bushing no questions asked lol

 

Sorry the driver side body bushing. I do hammer on the suspension constantly driving on bumpy dirt roads. Lots of washboard around here up the hills. So I do expect parts to wear out quicker but 1000 miles concerning. Hope I didn't get a problem child. Was hoping to maybe do energy bushings but nothing for our gen 3' that I see.
