There is this 'unicorn' type of body mount called Hydraulic Body Mounts? Are these available for, say, a 2006 CCLB F250? the internet is keeping this incredibly hidden from the turd for some reason!
neither here nore there, i saw the absence of a busing on the rear of my truck... i said that ####'s gonna get replaced soon! but with what product? Anybody have experience with these hydraulic mounts (if they even exist)?
dang, i wonder how much control I'd have over that sweet spot, ya know where it'ns nice and comfy but won't sling you out the window! plus, if i had a descent compressor, i'd have whatever air bags i want under the axles and maybe a train horn too!
Way back in the day i used poly's on a civic for the control arm bushings, and some other misc suspension parts, greased them out the azz and about 250 miles of popping up and down on super tight springs they started squeaking.... Drove me nuts...
1. I could ordoer some rubber stock sheets at the thickness I need and cut my own lol!
2. I could cut some circles out of some old A/T tires & stack them to the thickness i'm needing. cheap as hell!
3. I could build little forms and cast my own bushings out of bad-ass silicone! lol!
i'm leaning towards doing a test run on number 3 haha!
I've seen a lot of people cast their own engine mount bushings. Really shouldn't be much different.
You can play with the mix to get the firmness you want.
i think i'm going to figure out which body mount is causing all the ruckus, and then pull the bolt & wachers out. then i'll go ahead and build that little form out of something or another and squeeze some silicone in there & see how well it does! i just can't see paying so much for oem, and i don't want the hard-ass urethane ones! though i may go with them since they are like $100 a set if the silicone trick doesn't work
thank you! any change in the ride that was better/worse????
