Sierra shackle bushes

Post by leafyhead »

:?: Easy one I hope.What type of shackle bushes give best service life and where about do you get them eg. genuine/non genuine etc etc.Stock springs for the time but putting extended shackles in and bushes are stuffed.

from what I gather most people use the genuine rubber bushes as they are cheaper then the after market urethane and flex much better.
