Truck: 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.2L, 5 speed, NP231HD Transfer case, Reg. Cab, Long Box.

Issue: A little bit of a bounce while driving between 55-60KM/h, all speeds before and after are perfectly fine. Brought it into the shop, raised it up and was about jack it up to balance tires, but pushed the rear driveshaft to the side, no play, pushed it up and could see the transfer case and d/s move up and down about 3/4-1."

Noticed there was a rubber mount between the mount and transfer case, so I started looking around and can't find a replacement. Checked all mounting and bolts for any breakages or looseness, but all are in good shape. I figured it, it looks old and is obviously soft, I'd replace it.

Any help and input would be greatly appreciated!

 

Chrysler part number is 52020251AA

 

Awesome! Thank you very much! I've been looking all over online and couldn't find it. Thought I was going a little crazy

 

You are in BC, Canada so Lordco part number is 2852 Anchor is the part line.

 

Good stuff!

But do you think my diagnostics has found that, that part is the problem here? Nothing else could cause my symptoms?

Either way, I'll give Lordco a call in the morning, and stop in the Dodge dealership here and see who has the better price

 

I have changed that same mount out twice not liking the movement it allowed, seems they are all like that. The first one the rubber had delaminated from the metal, the second was just to see if the dealer part was any better than the Lordco part.....nope. This is like a 15 minute job to change the tranny mount, 15mm deep socket, 5/8ths socket, bottle jack, piece of wood to protect the tranny pan and done deal.

Will this fix the vibe hard for me to say. I would still rotate the tires and have the balance checked on them, check the trackbar, all the tre's, and the unit/wheel bearings.
