not az,advance auto

I never thought to look at Advance auto for the bushings. I did check with them for the shackles. They didn't have them.

You need to measure the inside diameter of the spring. I got my bushings at Rubber Bushings - Leaf Spring Bushings | SD Truck Springs.
I didn't have my old shackles off yet when I ordered and took the parts reps advice and ordered the RB117. They are 1 1/2'' OD and were too small. My spring has a ID of 1 3/4'' and I had to reorder a set (4) of RB136 (1 3/4'' OD). They worked perfect but were way more expensive then the RB117s.

I looked at what Advance sells and they don't give any info on the diameter of the Moog. The Rare parts brand is a little over 1 1/2''. At least you can return them at the store if they are wrong. I have to pay shipping (around $15) to get my $18 back for the parts that were wrong.

If you check here https://blazerforum.com/forum/2nd-ge...hackles-67373/ you can see what I used to get them in the spring.

Again, if you can't get what you need from Advance I have four of the 1 1/2'' OD and two of the 1 3/4'' sitting here. If you need them I'm sure we can work something out.

heres the mother from the spring
 

wrong part...getting insane,the wrong part fits inside the old shell that i haven't yet butchered with the sazall.i think in my younger days,with a good torch,i would have blown the center out and not let burnning rubber bother me.

no real substitute for heat,pb and all the rest are for baby rust..lol
what really is eating me is my stupidly for buying this boat.

I used a drill and a propane torch to get the rubber out. All drill on the drivers side because I've always been afraid of fire near the gas tank and fill pipe. I also only cut the bolt head off ( with a grinder) and used a monkey wrench on the bolt to wiggle the bushing out after drilling and/or burning.

Mine looked the same as yours when I got it out.

Have you got the outer metal from the bushing out yet? I used a reciprocating saw to cut it part way, then had to pry it out with a screwdriver and a pry bar.

You have to measure the ID after you get the metal part of bushing out. From what I've found it's either 1 1/2'' or 1 3/4'' ID unless you have something custom.

back together,,,,left the outer core of the spring bushing in the spring
neversezed everything.
