Would it be easy enough to get some bushes for the spring eyes from super cheap/repco/bursons/ARB/tjm type places off the shelf? I need them tomorrow, so waiting for delivery isn't an option. As the fixed end on one of my springs has the bush stuck in it so I can't put it in my new springs.
Or will any other bushes from other vehicles fit?

Cheers

Good times. Yeah I'm gonna try the auto shops first. But the 4wd shops will be a last resort in case I can't get any.

While we're on the subject of bushes, what are people's thoughts on lubricating them or not, either the outside in the spring eye, or the inner side for the shackle pin?

I have heard different theories about wether or not rubber bushes go in the spring dry or with rubber grease, and wether or not urethane bushes go in dry or with chassis grease, lithium grease, or vaseline.

What's your rules and experiences?

With greasable shackles, isn't the point of being greasable to lube the movement of the shackle through suspension travel?

Have had varying degrees of success & disaster both way's, rubber I prefer not to lube, but polly I like to grease with moly grease..
IMO the biggest killer of Poly is no maintenance (I'm guilty of it), the grease get's washed out & not re-greasesd.
But as we all know, grease like to hold dirt... :roll:

poly is self lubricating :)

but like all things, they work better when lubed up
