Question:

I bought and also bought center bushings from you guys but the bushing is the same exact size as the center hole so it’s impossible to bushing. My question is do the require bushings if so which ones are they?

Expert Reply:

The large center hole on equalizer # TREQ1304 should be 7/8 inches in diameter. I checked your order and the equalizer bushings you bought were # TRBU13871. These have a 7/8 inch INNER diameter but the outer diameter is 1-1/8 inches which is why they will not fit.

You can use bushings that have an outer diameter of 7/8 inches. We have # TRBU11568 but it is 1-3/4 inches long which is 1/4 inch shorter than the width of the equalizer. It has an inner diameter of 9/16 inches.

We also have # TRBU11508 which is also 7/8 inch outer diameter and 1-3/4 inches long but with a 1/2 inch inner diameter.

Another option is to just use a 7/8 inch wet bolt, # TRFA71063, as long as the hanger for the equalizer will also accept a 7/8 inch diameter bolt. It looks like you bought some of those too so you would not need the bushings.
