Replacing spring bushes with nylon


oz_brett

Recommended Posts

The bushes in my leaf springs have worn, Im thinking of replacing the bushes with nylon bushes then some one said they were advised not to use nylon. does anyone know anything of this?

Im guessing they are pressed in is it a big job to change? or just buy new leafs with nylon bushes & be done with it?

also looking at new stainless steel disc rotors & new brake callipers

No it's not hard at all to replace bushes to nylon . Pretty straight forward . To knock out the old ones find an old socket slightly smaller than the old bush & use a hammer to knock the bush out . Fitting new ones use a rubber hammer to knock them in . Defiantly no need for Pressing . As for brakes I'd be going for Galvanised disks & depending on wether you have hydraulic brakes use Stainless Calipers but if are using cable activated brakes then Galvanised Calipers . Hope this helps Brett .....
