Application
Specifically for early production versions of WWII military lorries with front leaf spring suspension. Used in the spring eye where the spring attaches to chassis or shackle. Note: early models sometimes had different bushing dimensions compared to later production.
Installation notes
Bushing is pressed into the spring eye. For installation: thoroughly clean the spring eye, optionally place bushing briefly in freezer for shrinkage, and press the bushing evenly using a suitable press or large C-clamp. Check free passage over mounting bolt. Only tighten mounting bolts when vehicle is resting on its own weight.
Compatibility

Historical context
