poly bushings for springs
« on: February 18, 2008, 05:37:47 PM »

 Has anyone else used poly for their springs? I can't remember where i got them but they seem to big. I pressed the rubbers out and the new polys in, but the spring eye bushings (not the shackles) seem to be a really tight fit. So much that when i let them out of the shop press they squeeze back out a little bit and dont sit flush, once the inner shell is in. I am going to try to run them anyway, but im going to have to compress them to get them in the box. Let me know if anyone else has had this problem or if maybe they are the wrong size. Thanks Dustin! motorinstall

I have used them, but I have not had that problem. I've had them on two cars in the past and both times I pressed them in and they didn't have any issues with them backing out.

Try coating them with anti-sieze. It will help them slide in and they won't squeek as much when driving.

They came with some kind of white grease. i used it when i put them in, it's super tacky, but that didn't really help. They must just be the wrong size, becuase the rear ones fit awsome. i guess i'll have to start making some phone calls and see if can't get the rite size.
