Transfer case bushing

[kjandb]

Having a hard time finding this bushing online. Can't find it in the parts book either so I might be searching for the wrong name? It's on the cross member, tcase side. Any suggestions?

Jeep 945266 Group 18.210-1 https://www.quadratec.com/products/56003_0039.htm

Quadratec is the largest seller of Crown parts. Note their coverage description is either lazy or mistaken - this part was used on lots of older Jeeps. 945xxx is a ca 1955 part number. Sellers that cater to the mil/CJ owners describe coverage more accurately (ie Midwest Willys) but Quadratec has stock. Search for "945266 Jeep" and you''ll find lots of listings.

Get the '74-80 parts book, cheap on digital media at RockAuto. Many more illustrations there. A '74-up Wagoneer or J-truck with a TH400 and Dana 20 transfer case (10-20-40, WHT, LQT) will share a lot of parts with your '71. Be aware of what changes for '74 (front axle, brakes, Quadratrac for most TH400s).

yeller, was able to supply a give you a source to get the part at a very good price, I however had several laying around call it a spacer, bushing or cushion, you were again given a source ,and a very good price for what you need.

call it a spacer, bushing or cushion,

This part is technically called an “insulator” or more specifically a “vibration insulator”.

Noun: Vibration isolator : isolation is the prevention of transmission of vibration from one component of a system to others parts \
that is if you want to split HAIRS

It's useful to know what Jeep calls their parts - regardless of how overly punctilious it seems. In the parts book, if you are missing a picture that shows the part you need, possible to find your part by its name in the alphabetic index.

And there it is, 18.210-1, in the '62-73 parts book, free to read and download on the Tom Collins site. Would you find it if you did not know what Jeep calls it?

Thanks everyone, I tried the amazon INSULATORS and they're a bit too small, and the weight of the tcase squished them down a lot. Possibly more than my old worn out ones. I'll try the quadratrac or BJ's next.

I guess I should ask while I'm at it - anything I should be aware of when swapping these? I just jacked it up at the tcase and slid it in. Didn't loosen anything else at the cross member or motor mounts. Hope that's ok.

The parts book shows three washers (two larger and one smaller), two nuts and a stud, plus two bushings. I would expect the bushings to ride against the cross member, and a large washer top and bottom, with a nut on each end of the stud. Aside from that, how the parts are arranged is a mystery. Given the number of parts involved, the number of possible arrangements of the specified parts, however, is quite limited.

The best reference is usually the Jeep itself. If you have other parts that were there with the smashed bushing, that would be a clue.
