Question:
In response to the reply. The reply mentions using either the never-fail or nylon bushings with wet bolts. Is this accurate? I thought a bronze bushing needed to be used with wet bolts.

Expert Reply:
You are correct that wet suspension bolts like # LC126238 are usually used along with bronze bushings for the longest possible service life but using them with nylon bushings is permissible. If standard bolts like # 166081 were to be replaced with wet bolts it would be fine to continue using the existing nylon bushings (for convenience) but in an all new installation bronze bushings would be preferred.
