strange noise in bushing!!!
« on: October 24, 2012, 09:51:30 pm »
ok...in this pic u have an average leaf spring bushing at front of truck. it was making a crazy grind, pop,  and slight movement when turning the wheels. its on a 4" lift my question is.....to buy some new ones what do i need to know? size of bushing? i do not know who makes this kit spring. so how do you order? do these press out? also will new eurethane ones just slide in? they did on the sway bar bushings.

dunno how to help you on what ones to find but they just slide in and out to change them. try to find the manufacturer of your lift kit.

If that is the front spring, it should take a factory bushing, so just about any company should have it.  P-S-T, Energy Suspension, etc..

     It would be a good idea to replace all the front with a kit if not front and back.  If one is bad the others are really close to being bad.
