Question:

I have a 1976 Terry Travel Trailer with tandem axles that I am updating/replacing the suspension on. The old shackles were slotted. I ordered the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit MR46ZR to replace them since the kit comes with bronze instead of nylon bushings. When I took the worn out nylon bushings out of the old equalizers I discovered that the hole size for the bushing are 3/4. Needless to say the new bushing for the kit are way too small. I am wondering if you have bushing that are 3/4inch od, 9/16inch id by 1 3/4 long? If not I am thinking about ordering the TREQR2 straight equalizers to replace the old ones. Will the new bronze bushings from the kit fit in the TREQR2 equalizers in place of the existing nylon bushing?

Expert Reply:

The only bushings we have that are 9/16" Inner Diameter, 3/4" Outer Diameter, and 1-3/4" Long are Nylon Bushings item # SP05-060. The bronze bushings from the MoRyde Suspension upgrade kit Item # MR46ZR would not fit in the TruRyde Equalizers item #TREQR2. The bushings are Outer diameter 11/16" and the Inner diameter is 9/16". The TREQR2 equalizers have a 9/16" bolt-hole diameters.
