Spring Main Eye and Shackle Bushing Instructions

Before installing your new urethane bushings, read the instructions carefully. Your urethane component kit has been designed to provide the highest quality and performance. Improper Installation could result in failure. Please use caution and have your installation inspected by a certified mechanic.

1. Remove the existing rubber and the metal outer shell. Most spring eyes and some shackles have a rubber bushing that is molded in an outer shell. This must be removed. You may have to use force to get these out. We recommend, if possible, that you have an experienced mechanic perform this operation.

2. Clean the I.D. of the spring eye and the frame shackle brackets to remove any rubber or rust. Use a wire brush or sand paper

3. Put all the parts together to insure proper fit. If something doesn't easily fit together, find out why. (old bolts may be bent)

4. Apply a light coat of grease to the contact surface. The contact surfaces include the I.D. of the spring eye, I.D. and the O.D. flange of the urethane, frame brackets, and the O.D. of the metal sleeve.
