Default ..:: The front diff bushing situation ::..

Hi Guys!

I've been driving my 2K7 H3 Base for a couple days now and I'm hearing a soft metal clank every now and then, but last night it was most noticeable after a very rainy night, especially when slowly turning left or right or going over a speed bump; once I started to notice it I intentionally drove slower and turn left tor right to figure it out, but couldn't; other than that, there's no feel of anything going wrong, drives and run fine and totally noiseless. I was able to get it on a lift today and after looking around the only thing we see is a broken front diff bushing -would this be the cause of the clank? and what may be the worst case scenario if I do not replace it soon enough? I do not drive off road, basically street and highways. Any feedback on how to go about it will be helpful tackling this issue, thanks in advance!

The result will be damage to the differential. You can get the diff carrier bushing reasonably on the jungle store.

And check the axle bracket bushings on the sides; most likely at least the right bushing is busted.
