8972531250 Isuzu BUSHING; DRI, Price: 21.16$, Weight: 0.082kg

Driveline Support Bushing for Transmission Tail Housing

This precision sleeve supports the slip yoke at the back of the gearbox/transfer case. It keeps the propeller shaft centered, reduces vibration, and protects the rear seal for a smooth, quiet ride .

Why this part is needed

A healthy drive shaft bushing maintains tight radial control of the yoke. It damps shocks from the road, guides rotation in a straight line, and prevents metal-to-metal contact. That means longer U-joint life, less noise, and no fluid mess.

How it works

Press-fitted into the tail housing, the bushing’s steel shell and precision inner surface (bronze or polymer-lined) run with a thin ATF film. This hydrodynamic layer supports the yoke under load, absorbs micro-misalignments, and stabilizes the driveline at all speeds.

What happens if it’s worn or broken ⚠️

• Shudder or vibration on takeoff and at 40–70 km/h
• Clunk when shifting R–D; play in the slip yoke
• ATF leak at the rear seal and yoke scoring
• Accelerated U-joint and spline wear; possible tail housing damage

Installation tips ✅

Measure ID/OD; use a proper driver, not a hammer. Align oil groove, lubricate during install, and always renew the rear seal. Inspect the slip yoke; replace if pitted. After fitment, check driveshaft balance and mount torques.

Build & fitment

OEM-grade metallurgy, tight tolerances, and corrosion-resistant finish. Ideal for light trucks and SUVs requiring a transmission tail housing/drive shaft bushing replacement.
