★ Precision-manufactured bronze bushing that matches original suspension specifications. Bronze is the original material for this type of bushing and offers excellent wear resistance with proper maintenance.
Application
Suitable for early and late civilian jeeps with open shackle spring system. Fits both front and rear leaf springs. Used at the fixed pivot point of the leaf spring (chassis side), not in the movable shackles.
Installation notes
Bushing must be pressed into the leaf spring eye using a press — do not hammer in to prevent damage. Requires greasable spring bolt type 384228 with grease nipple. Regular greasing is essential for long service life and to prevent seizure.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with late rubber bushings (921055) — check which type of spring bolt is fitted to your vehicle. Early models use bronze bushings with greasable bolts, later models switched to rubber 'silent type' bushings with non-greasable bolts.
Historical context
Bronze bushings were standard in WWII and early post-war jeeps. Later replaced by rubber 'silent type' bushings for improved comfort, but bronze remains the choice for authentic restorations.
