found the source of my super fun rear end shimmy/wandering. My leaf spring bushings are completly shot. ( not surprisingly ) so....where should i get bushings from? The ones on the shackles and the leaf springs themselves are wasted.

 

OEM Toyota.

They're $6 and some change per bushing on the shackles and $8 and some change per bushing on the hanger. You can also buy a shackle kit complete with new bushings for $70.

I just swapped mine from one truck to the other because the previous owner of my 77' had everything replaced just months prior to selling. They fit my 72' with no issues, including the shackles.

 

Any one know a source for poly ones? I saw a guy on here put them on his stout, I would venture to say that bushings made for newer yotas like a 86 4x4 ones would work and im sure you can find aftermarket ones for those.

My bushings dont look so hot and i have to pull my lowering blocks back out any way so I was looking for bushings also.


I could see these working but I dont know, wish I had some 84+ leaf springs laying around to measure.
