Body Mounts
Hi Everyone
I'm new to this site. I just purchased my first X and I love it!!!!!!
It does have some issues though. I have the popping and crackling
that I can feel right under my feet on the drive and passenger side.
I pretty sure it is the body mounts. I will try to loosen and lube them.
All I want to know is witch body mount kit will fit the X? I read here that the Day Star kit from the F250-350 SD would work. Any info would be appreciated.

I have the same thing going on. Its best described as a creaking noise. Almost like the sound of dry sway bar bushings.....but its not dry bushings. HA.... I tried lubing up the front body mounts still makes noise. They creak when I step on the gas or step on the brake.

I tried tightening the body mounts under the carpeting in front of the passenger seat - but they were tight as heck already. Not sure if these should be lubed or not - don't want the truck body sliding off the frame
I always thought it may be bad springs or shackles ( either bushings in either or the springs just rubbing together too much with time ) but it may just be the body mounts ... who knows ....

same prob
mine does the same thing everytime i hit bumps it feels like the body mount is loose i took it to a suspension shop they couldnt find anything wrong i found a thread one time they said its a common prob on excursions for the bolt or something with that mount to be wrong somehow?? i pulled the carpet back and there is a oblong rubber insert you pull out and under it is a 15/16 head bolt you need a deep well socket and extension to get it out. it took it out they said to grind around the bolt and lube it up with antiseeze tighten it back up well for a week it went away i did not have the clunk anymore then it came back!! so i really want to know how to fix this it drives me nuts

Yes, there are body mount kits available. You can see ads for them in off-road magazines, and they are usually made of urethane.
An off-road shop told me to take mine off, clean them up, and lube them. Much cheaper than replacing. I havent DONE it yet, but I hope to get around to it someday.
