Re: Spring bushings
We are a Prothane dealer and I looked up the spring bushing on a 89 truck. The largest they have is the 1.5" bushing. That 1.5" bushings is real loose in the spring eyelet?
Can you take a picture? |

Re: Spring bushings

Re: Spring bushings
Look like newer 88/98 ck springs. Wonder if things were swapped around at GM? Check a newer bushing o.d

Re: Spring bushings
It seemed Prothane didn't have anything larger for that spring.
Glad you did find one that will work. |
