Leaf Spring Bushing Kit for Tough Suspension Duty

This suspension bushing kit restores the ride, handling, and quiet operation of heavy-duty chassis. The bushes sit in the leaf spring eyes and shackles, isolating vibration and keeping the springs centered on the frame. Fresh bushes stop metal-to-metal contact, reduce steering wander, and protect tires and driveline parts.

Why you need it

Over time, factory rubber hardens, splits, or crushes under load. Replacing worn bushes brings back proper axle alignment, improves braking stability, and removes clunks over bumps. It’s a smart fix after lift kits, towing, or off-road use.

How it works

Each bushing uses a rubber or elastomer body with a steel sleeve. When the suspension moves, the bushing twists slightly, absorbing shock and keeping geometry true. Correct preload and press-fit are key for quiet, long life.

If the bushes fail

• Clunking and harsh vibration
• Loose steering and wandering
• Uneven tire wear and poor braking
• Spring eye and shackle damage

Tech tips

Press out old shells, clean bores, lube sleeves lightly if specified, and torque shackles at ride height. Always replace in pairs per axle for balanced handling.
