Question:
Do you need a nylon bushing on the slipper side of spring? And how do I order if needed?

Expert Reply:
A Nylon Bushing # TRBU11561 is not required to be used on the open end of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring # e33SR. Since the bushing is not going to be fully encased it stands that under the weight of the trailer it will fail and break apart more easily.
I recommend spraying some LubeMaster Dry Silicone Spray # RM-747 on the open end bolt and contact areas of the spring. This will provide lubrication to the parts without attracting dirt.
