Have anyone replaced the differential mounts on their LS460. I need to replace mine, but not looking forward to drop everything. Is there an easier way to replace them?

 

Where did you get those parts from?

 

Amazon

 

I don't think you'll have good results with those, there are a few videos of replacing those bushings on YouTube if you do a search there.

 

I've seen them. Actually only one needs to be replaced. Maybe not too many people have noticed that those mounts have a tendency to collapse. Take a look and possibly at least one is done.

 

I strongly second that. Unless these are from a reputable manufacturer I would not use them. If they are trivial to replace maybe you can take a chance, but I would not use any non-OEM parts on a job that requires a lot of labor. I suggest you return them.

 

I'm 64. Have been working on cars for at least 50 years. Thank you for the advice that I did not requested. When ever you have the time reread my post.
Thanks again.

 

I am 63. I have not been working on cars as much as you. I tend to be more forgiving and more thankful when people give me free advice because they are genuinly trying to help. Thanks again.

 

you provided advice on something different of what I asked. Does anyone have replaced the mounts and if there is any shortcut to do it. I did not asked opinions on quality of parts. If you have no direct answer to the subject, then don't bother.

 

You're kinda picky about the free advice you get, you should be more specific regarding the responses you want to hear.

 

What more specific than; "have anyone done this repair and is there any way to do it easier?" If you have not done it and at times no clue as to what is asked, then on my opinion, you should not waste the requester's time with irrelevant information. I don't give my opinion if I have nothing to offer. So I guess some of us have other things to do besides staying relevant on a forum.

 

I'm 30 and have done the job.

Perhaps you should look at the manual or at least stare at the car to understand what you are doing? It's a standard diff removal

 

I think he is asking if it can be done without removing the diff. It's a fair question although he is being picky about the responses. He hasn't really told us if he tried anything. He wants to hear if someone has done it.

 

Wow, finally someone gets it. Exactly what I'm trying to convey.

 

I have not tried to replace them
There is video that shows someone replacing them without dropping the whole suspension. At least on my car one is collapsed, it makes a loud thump when taking off under medium acceleration.
