Default Rear Diff Bushes

Does anyone know where I can find a part number for these? I've looked on the Mopar site but can't find any diff bushes listed. 2015 JGC LTD Diesel.

TIA,

DM

Wouldn't you want rubber in any bushing months WK2?
I've had urethane bushings in other cars and it makes you feel everything

Totally agree Grippy, when ever I replace the bushes in anything with Leaf Springs I always replace with Rubber, Ive used Poly once in the rear end of my Hilux and never again.
Sure they last longer, but the bloody knocking drove me mad, talk about noise transfer, constant greasing with rubber grease didnt help, only muffled the noise, ended up swapping them out shortly after with Rubber, problem solved

I feel using poly bushes in Control arms, helps to maintain geometry under acceleration and braking,

Not quite sure what desertman is after but Superpro can help with both

So I have been doing a bit of research and it appears that the parts I need are either 68091399AA or 68091398AA. I can't quite figure out the difference between the two as it says they both fit my vehicle.

I'm also struggling to work out how many I need. I don't have a hoist and getting under the vehicle is a lot more difficult than with the old Disco 2 with a 2" lift.

Those Superpro bushes are eye wateringly expensive when compared to the Rockauto ones.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Much more to the point. No "Hey, what's up YouTube?"
Looks like a bitch of a job to do at home in the driveway
