Rear Leaf Spring Bushings
I have a 2002 S-10 Blazer and I was wondering if anyone has ever replaced the rear leaf spring bushings. I am talking about the one in the spring eyelet. I am having trouble finding the right size. Is there a difference in the spring bushings and the frame bushings. Thanks

I put aluminum bushings in the front eyes of my 1989 S10's new 3" drop rear springs when installing my CalTracs, but that is a very specific application. Heard of people putting poly bushings in. Don't know how a spring eye bushing would ever really "need" replaced for wear.

Thanks LesMyer, I am putting new shackles on it and the bolts are frozen in the bushings. I have finally found a Spring Shop in Evansville, In. a 1 hour drive for me and they are going to press the old ones out and press new ones in. And they are 2 different ODs. shackles bushing is 11/2 in. and leaf spring bushings are 15/8 in. Thanks Much
