Question:

Is your nylon bushing #TRBU11508 exactly 1/2inch I.D., i.e. a press fit or is it a slip fit, being a little larger?

I pulled a sample of the TruRyde Nylon Bushing # TRBU11508 so that I could take measurements with a precision caliper. In some cases a parts actual dimensions may vary slightly from its description. Keep in mind that its fit depends in part on the eye of the particular leaf spring; one that is worn a bit will most likely be a slip fit, while a brand new spring might need some pressure to install the bushing.

The specs for this item indicate an inside diameter of 1/2-inch, an outside diameter of 7/8-inch and an overall length of 1-3/4-inches.

The sample I measured with a digital caliper had dimensions as follows:

I.D. = 0.5-inch
O.D. = 0.85-inch
length = 1.74-inch
