Thread: Spring bushings?

  1. #1

    Default Spring bushings?

    I looked at my M725 today and noticed that the spring bushings are gone. Are there some after market ones that will work?

    Front or rear springs? I'm assuming your talking about the front springs?

    Any idea if they are new or NOS. 40 year old rubber might not hold up.

    All I have ever seen is NOS...I think I have a set in the shop, if you want, I could measure and you could try and find something that way...

    I measured my front bushings (you will need 4 of one size, and 2 of another size) and was able to call up a local spring shop and they got me brand new bushings that matched the dimensions I gave them. They also made me front/rear U-bolts to my dimensions. I will try to find the part numbers and dimensions I took. With that any spring shop should be able to find you matching bushings, I'll also get you the contact # to the place I got mine from here in Oregon.

    Rats, wish I would have saved that data when I changed mine around.
    It IS possible though.
    I found the parts easier in poly, but I didn't want them. Had a harder time finding them in rubber (maybe I was lazy).
    IF I remember right, I used a poly bushing for the larger one, and didn't use their metal tube insert, just used a bolt with no threads in the bushing area.
