Best set of leaf spring bushings
I'm slowly working through all the kinks this old '03 TXT, and the latest one is figuring out that it needs leaf spring bushings. I've looked at a few vendors, and I thought I read somewhere that this required 10 bushings, but the kits I'm finding only have 8.
So, here's my question: Who has the best bushing kit? |

so many of the kits only give you the bushings for the springs and NOT the top bushing for the shackles. that makes 3 sets (6 bushings) of bushing per side X 2 sides = 6 sets or 12 bushings. its been years ago that bought my last total sey, but I got them off of Amazon. |

Re: Best set of leaf spring bushings
make sure you get urethane bushings, my cart kills the rubber ones in less than 2 weeks

Re: Best set of leaf spring bushings
My review on rear spring bushings.
I used the Polyurethane ones on a cart my son has with lift and rear seat. They drive it on some rough roads. They squeaked bad so I got the rubber ones and they are happy. I only use the rubber ones. OEM ones are also rubber . I also ordered Polyurethane ones for a friend. He also said the squeak and I had to get him the rubber ones. Due to their hardness, polyurethane bushings often lead to a bumpy ride. Since they’re not as good at dampening, passengers are also subjected to a lot more noise and vibration. They may last longer but that squeaking will drive you nuts. Level ground on paved streets they may be good but the people I deal with don't use their carts on nice roads. I let the people decide but I do tell them the difference in Polyurethane and rubber. |

Re: Best set of leaf spring bushings
I wonder if there were a steel bearing replacement for the rubber.....how that would impact the ride? Perhaps a bearing with an easy access grease fitting?

Re: Best set of leaf spring bushings
my cart with the motor listed in it will smash those rubber ones to pieces and start squeaking within a two weeks driving about 10 miles a night with a combination of off road and on road. my driving is mostly a little bumpy off road but I am not driving like an idiot as I have my golden retriever next to me and he is an old man so he does not like whipping around.
now the heim joints on my jakes lift squeaks like crazy |
