Front Final Drive - mount replacement

[254Greg68]

Vehicle Spec:

1994 Nissan Pathfinder XE

D21 series 4WD Wagon

Production Date: 08/94

Type: WHYD21

Engine: VG30E V6 (2960cc)

 

I need to replace all of the mounts on the Front Final Drive (Front Differential) on my vehicle.

These I can get relatively cheap;

OEM Numbers: (All fit my Front Differential)

54751-31G02 1 x Stopper-Differential Mounting, Front

54710-31G00 1 x Insulator Assy-Differential Mounting

This part is very expensive but I need to replace the bushes;

OEM Numbers: (All fit my Front Differential)

54720-31G12 1 x Member Assy-Differential Mounting, Front

 

I want to replace the bushes in Part No. 54720-31G12 - Member Assy-Differential Mounting, Front with Part No. 54711-31G01. I will have to destroy (drill out) the old bushes and replace them. I understand this is not a standard procedure.

I have seen specifications for replacing the bushes on the Member Assy-Rear Differential for 88-95 Terrano D21 and the Rear Diff shown in the diagrams looks to be the same as my Front Diff (Final Drive) with all the same mounting points.

There is an aftermarket mount bush set available from FEBEST which specify the following part numbers;

1 x NAB-201 equivalent to 54751-31G02

1 x NM-D22DM equivalent to 54710-31G00

2 x NAB-D22DM equivalent to 54711-31G01 (on Part No. 54720-31G12. This is why I am hopeful that Part No. 54711-31G01 will fit).

 

Can anyone send me detailed dimensions of Part No. 54711-31G01 so I can determine if they will fit?

Can anyone verify that Part No. 54711-31G01 will replace the original factory bushes?

Otherwise my only option is to spend a lot of money for a whole new Part No. 54720-31G12 - Member Assy piece, just because the bushes need to be replaced.

 

Please, your help is the best option.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Regards

Greg

Rob Lacy (Alkorahil) at the dealership in Texas might be a good guy to call on this one. Other than that I am out of ideas other than to measure things.
