1952-59 Ford leafspring bushings?

Hello can someone direct me on a good place to purchase all the rear bushings for my 55? Thanks Dan

 

The spring bushings are pressed in the leafs on my 55. I sent mine out to have them redone at a spring shop about ten years ago. The shackle bushings are available from NAPA, or any of the old Ford suppliers. I like MACS.

 

I found all the rear shackle bushings at NAPA, no one seems to be able to come up with the front pressed in bushings? I guess I'm gonna have to make a solid one or do a bit more web surfing.

 

rare parts makes them. but its not much more expensive to buy the whole springs from j.c. whitneys

 

OK thanks found them on Mac's.

 

You might also check www.energysuspension.com in the universal section,there is a chart that shows you how to measure for them,polyurethane will give you much better handling stability without the sway of a rubber bushing.

 

I have a new set of front press-in bushings that I would part with if you cant find them, let me know...Mark

 

check out ROCKAUTO they had all of the front end parts for my 54 merc. all name brand and priced at normal amounts not at rare parts prices. I try to buy all my hard to find parts from them. Hope this helps. Nial

 

I tried the polyurethane bushings in my 54 years ago. They squeeked so bad I took them out and greased them. That didnt work, after a few rides they started to squeek again. After a couple years I tossed them out and put in factory rubber.

 

I know mine is a 54, but mine were available through napa and worked perfect and were cheap.
