1993 leaft spring bushings
Hey all,
I bought some MOOG SB266 leaf spring bushings but they don't fit apparantly Dodge started using a 5/8" bolt instead of a 1/2" bolt in 1993. Anybody know a solution other than to ream out the center of the bushing?
Thanks,
Brian

That's great advise Bill except that this is a known problem for 1993 users because Dodge changed the bolt kits from 1/2" to 5/8" and lift kit makers even have suggested reaming out or removing the sleeve. I'm hoping someone has found a better way.

I just redid the ones in the rear and got 5/8 bushings instead of 1/2 so i had to open up the spring hangers.the ones on the front were rancho ureathane and had no bushings in them the rear were moog parts ! maybe your parts guy isnt looking hard enough for you. just a thought
