It fit in the rear eye. Where it connects to the shackle.

Yes, I replaced the rear leaf spring bushing with moog #K200897. I couldn't find a different bushing number for the zr2 package. Some WD 40 on the steel sleeve helps when installing them.

Picked up the part. Greased it up and pounded it in with a big socket and hammer. Took make 20 minutes total. Thanks again for your help. Very much appreciated

Would happen to have the part number for the front leaf spring eye. Parts store trying to give wrong one for that as well

My front leaf spring bushings looked good so I didn't change them. Those came up as the Moog # SB 335. Described as "fixed point" bushing. Please let us know if that's correct.
