Landcruiser Bushings

I have a bj70 landcruiser. The bushings need to be replaced between the leaf springs and the shackles. Which is the best? I dont have greasable shackles.
Cheers.

eurothane bushes are stiffer than rubber so are better on the road they also seem to last longer.

Rubber tends to flex better from new but can rip and seem to wear faster, they do feel better offroad tho.

I find the difference in flex is not enough to go for the rubber ones and most eurothane bushes have some lubrication properties in the formulae so I run with them, in my case they were cheaper too and once done you dont want to fight to fit them again any time soon. :wink:

Agreed. I'd go with the urethane ones, Just give them a good grease up when you fit them :wink:

and get some greaseable shackles and pins and youre all sorted..

i happen to have a pair of greaseable pins (new) that'll fit the front of your rig if any good to you?
