Throw some hockey pucks in there temporarily. Cheap and easy overnight fix. I've been running them as a lower for months now awaiting the bushing order to arrive. Inspection shows that they are holding up fine. Granted, I'd not use them as a permanent replacement (we had an old mechanic...
The look pretty clean. And I was able to reuse the cab bushing washers and sleeve on the rear bushing point (A1R) which is most exposed to the elements.
It was sort of a rhetorical question...
The equipment to stamp or laser cut washers is not a common toolset found in most people's garages. If I need a washer, I go out and purchase it. Washers are surprising inexpensive. Making them can be done, but most people I know would just go to...
Geo brought up an interesting point earlier.
Is there any bushing for the lower forward connection point?
I know that there are busing in the upper rear hanger (this topic) as well as the lowers that stabilize the bar (that you sell and I fully recommend). But what about the forward...
Agreed. Much smaller compared to the lowers.
I known if can be done but who make their own washers? :)
I've always just gone to Lowes. Or f it's a specifically odd size, I go to the local Bolt Company (we're a refinery town and hardware like washers, nuts, bolts can be found in pretty...
I've ALWAYS stood up and stated support for anyone making products like that.
Where I ridicule and point is at the vendors who purchase this crap at auction for $100 a pallet of 10,000 and then mark the individual items up to $100/ea. I give zero f''s about "supply and demand, capitalism at...
Agreed. I'm all in favor making your own when they can't be found (or for a reasonable price). As I said, the metal washers and sleeves likely are not needed if your truck has them intact (either way, that's only a couple dollars). We're talking about the squishy bits. What hits the wallet...
Yeah, when you consider that you need four sets to do a truck (plus the lowers).
Im not really sure you need the washers and sleeves.
And with that out of the equation, I bet that there are civilian solutions if you know the specs (L, ID, OD).
Some place like this is a...
