Prothane Leaf Spring and Shackle Bushings

Vehicles with a leaf spring and shackle set up lean heavily on the springs to take the shock out of a bump. Not only does a leaf spring reduce the force of a bump that you feel, but it also evenly distributes the load across the chassis instead of the whole load pressing down on one point. Your ability to get to point A to point B without scraping the pavement is heavily dependent on the leaf spring and shackle bushings which mount the spring to the frame.

Prothane's polyurethane is a stronger material for the mounting points of a leaf spring and shackle. Polyurethane leaf spring bushings are able to handle the stress from the suspension and are not vulnerable to road grime. With Prothane's polyurethane, you can protect your vehicle's ability to carry a load, and your bumpy free ride, for years to come.

Replacing the Faulty Rubber

O.E. leaf spring and shackles utilize a soft rubber bushing to mount the spring to the frame. The rubber is great for reducing the noise and vibrations from being transferred into the cab. Unfortunately, rubber bushings have a short lifespan. Once the rubber fails, due to wear and tear or road grime, a leaf spring's effectiveness is severely reduced. Meaning you will experience a very bumpy ride, the vehicle's ability to carry a load or tow is hindered greatly and you'll experience a loss of control.

Use Prothane's Super Grease

Leaf spring and shackle bushings handle a lot of stress from the vehicle load, so be sure to use the supplied Prothane's Super Grease to lubricate the bushings during installation. Its super important that you lubricate each bushing well to prevent any squeaking. If you'd like some extra grease just in case, pick up an extra 3 pack.

starstarstarstarstar" They was ok not happy with how the fit "

The bushings for the shackles were way too small and I wasnt able to use them. The ones for the leaf springs worked pretty good. Editors Note: Editors Note: There are 2 choices for the shackle end of the bushings. The kit 71017 has 3/8 OD bushings. The other choice is the 1 1/2 OD bushings. It is kit 71054.

starstarstarstarstar" Outstanding product!!! "

The only regret I have about buying these bushings is that I didn't buy the complete kit to do the whole truck! Its hard to imagine why the engineers at GM would ever believe the soft,py, rubber bushings they use in their cars and trucks would be sufficient. By the time my 20 year old truck is fully restored, Prothane bushings will replace all their factory rubber counterparts!
