    I was changing the oil for the first time on my 2014 Tundra. Noticed that the bushing pictured on the passenger side was loose and hanging a half inch low. The driver side was tight.
    Is this a front dif bushing? If not what is it and how do I fix it?20230805_094528.jpg 20230805_094538.jpg

    Yes, it is a mount for your front diff. Have you tried tightening it? I’d probably take it out and put some red loctite on it first.

    What @Cruzer said, there's a nut on the top side that just needs to be tightened. There's not a whole lot of space up there, box wench is your best bet.

    I did try to tighten it. It didn't seem to be catching on anything and just spun...
    I will try to feel around up there and see if the nut is sitting up there..
