Are Bushings Included in Double-Eye Springs

Question:
On code #APT5 for the bushings on the shackles, are they in the leaf springs? or can you purchase the bushing separately? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks much

Expert Reply:
Bushings are sometimes included in double-eye leaf springs. Sometimes they wear out and need to be replaced.
You can purchase replacement bushings separately. You will need to know the bushing's inner diameter, outer diameter and the length of the bushings to order replacements. It does not matter which material, nylon or bronze, the bushings are. Also nylon and bronze bushings have about the same longevity.
