This Prothane bushing fits the leaf spring shackles on the 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5, 1976-1986 CJ7 and 1981-1985 Scrambler. It is a good match for CJ restorations, trail rigs and weekend wheelers.

Worn spring bushings let the axle shift, which can show up as a clunk when pulling away, a squeak over bumps or vague handling. Fresh bushings help keep the rear axle square under the vehicle, which matters most when it is loaded. Spring bushings are often replaced at the same time as shackles or springs, since the hardware is already apart. Leaf springs mount to the vehicle through bushings at the spring eye and the shackle, and those bushings let the spring flex as it carries load. Use the fitment details below to confirm this is the right part for your vehicle.

What else to plan for

  • An alignment after installing new arms or bushings.
  • Matching parts at the other end. Upgrading one side or one link and leaving worn parts elsewhere limits the improvement.
  • Install tools. Pressed-in bushings may need a press or a shop to fit them.
