leaf spring bushing question

[81GMCBILL]

I am ready to install new leaf spring bushings, but was wondering if you smear a light
coat of grease or ? on them before installation. Or do you install them dry -without anything?

[Captkaos]

What kind of bushing?  Rubber, Urethane, Poly?

[81GMCBILL]

there poly-urthane.

[Captkaos]

they should have came with instructions on what to use with them.

Formula Five Prelube

thanks - for the help - BD - I see what to use - I was just trying to make sure I
have everything like this lube before I get the bushings, like Capkaos said - the instructions
will probably tell me what to use.

If you're purchasing a bushing set, it will likely come with lube.

[Captkaos]

Ah so you haven't gotten them, if it requires anything special it should come with them unless it is something easily obtained...

If you're purchasing a bushing set, it will likely come with lube.

when i put in one of my lift kits we used a c-clamp to squeeze the bushings in the eyes of the springs also

[81GMCBILL]

yea - they fit easily into the front leaf spring eye- but I noticed they will be needing quite
a bit of force to install on the rear frame mount part of it(where the top-shackle connects).
I was thinking like you said (IRISH-Alley) to use a c-clamp or a ball joint clamp I have.
