cab mount loose
My drivers side cab to frame mount seams to be loose. I have tried to tighten it but i cant get it any tighter. Has anyone changed these before? How hard is it?

Hard to say from the angle of the pic, but I just went and checked and that's what mine looks like. The bottom of the bolt sticks down about 1/2" below the bushing. Why do you think it's loose?

I can see where the bushing is rubbing the bottom side of the mount and I can feel the cab feel like it slips in a turn. It is right under the drivers feet and I can feel pops there.

If you look at the top of the bushing, there is a dark ring. That is where the dirt has been rubbed clean and some paint worn away. So you can see how much the bushing is moving.

Terry, I haven't changed mine yet but am experiencing the same clunk that you seem be. I noticed mine wearing out last summer and suggested to a certain parts guy on here that he put together a "kit". I know he's been really busy, but I'm sure Ed...........I mean the parts guy........ hasn't forgotten. These are rubber i.e. consumable parts. I want to change all of mine before winter sets in, maybe we can get togather and do this at my Brothers shop in Dixon before to long. Oh, I drew X7a too..........

Awesome on X7A. I did not draw any of my picks. I will be going to Idaho for archery elk though. And as I was reAding your post I was thinking GTG myself. Let me know your timeframe and I will check mine.
