Leaf spring bushings.

I want to replace all my bushings for the springs on my 62 Uni. I bought polyurethane bushing for the rear, but I have been unable to find any for the front. I might be able to find replacement rubber bushings (I'd prefer poly), but I'm not really certain about that. Are these parts a one year only part or something? Are some other years interchangeable maybe? I did a search on the forum, but couldn't come up with an answer. I've also read some stuff on newer rubber parts being questionable, so that another reason I'd like to go with the poly.

Do you want the bushings for the front or rear springs, or both?

Front bushings is what I am looking for.

I have already purchased rear polyurethane bushing, but have not installed them yet. I was thinking of installing my front bumper, but decided that it may be easier to do the bushings before I install the bumper.

I have spoken to the techs at Energy Suspension and been told that, although they may not make a kit for your application, if you can give them the size spec's of the bushings you need, they probably have something in their catalog that would fit your need.
