ive seen them on a couple xterras with shrock front bumpers but could never figure out what they were

its like a rubber bushing that goes on your d-ring mount to stop it from clanking and bouncing around

if i remember it was something from a toilet and could be bought at home depot or lowes

anybody know what im talking about, i go through a d-ring a year due to rust (they clank then chips paint then rusts)

noooo, those are cool, but im talking about the things that actually go on the threaded pin of the d-ring, to prevent it from moving around

Oh. I think I have seen them just use PCV hose.

I just remove my D-ring when I am not using them.

Yeah, I was gona suggest a piece of rubber hose. Try and find one that will slide over the pin and voila. My .02

You just wanted somebody to say ballcock...

I've used shock bushings before. Just trim to fit and they'll hold the d-rings tights. the rubber bushing doesn't have to go through the bumper...just on the d-ring bolt and it'll hold it tight.

something like this.

I like the ballcock idea, that's real cheap and simple.

I finally got around to putting some ballcocks on each clevis pin. Nice cheap solution, and no more clanking coming from the rear.

Next time, I might try some polyurethane bushings since I can tell the ballcocks are rubbing and chafing with any rotation of the clevis - Or perhaps a section of water hose around the pin.
