Multiply both sides by $144,$ you get a Mordell curve $U^2 = V^3 - 5616.$

This has only the solutions you knew about

E_-05616: r = 1   t = 1   #III =  1
          E(Q) = <(48, 324)>
          R =   1.0595282130
           2 integral points
             1. (48, 324) = 1 * (48, 324)
             2. (48, -324) = -(48, 324)
