Leaf Spring Bushings Closest to 1-1/4 Inch Outer Diameter

Question

Question:

I’m trying to find a replacement bushing for the leaf springs on my trailer. It looks like it needs to be 1 1/4 OD 1 3/4 long and takes a 9/16 bolt. Thank you

We do have bushings that are close to the 1-1/4 inch outer diameter, but not precisely. The Two Piece Nylon Bushing - Qty 4 # SP05-080 have a 1-5/16 inch outer diameter so it is very close, being 1/16 of an inch off. They do have the 9/16 inch inner diameter you need, and are 2 inches long.

I have added a link to a video review of these bushings for you to check out as well.
