Hello from germany.
I still have the problem with the upper shakle bushing for the front leaf spring that runs through the frame.
Iam looking and searching.
Can someone tell me how the bushing looks like?
Is this only rubber or with metal surounding,one piece or two pieces,....?
1970 D200.
Thanks
Rene

Re: Bushing Question
It is rubber with thin metal surrounding the outside and a metal sleeve on the inside. I think the outside metal is normally one piece, but mine were two.
I ended up going with polyurethane for the frame bushings, out of ease of installation.
This is about what they look like (note, random internet pic)

Re: Bushing Question
Beats me. My 69 W100 has a rubber and metal upper, with no grease fitting. Since he was specific in his question mentioning rubber: "Is this only rubber or with metal surrounding, one piece or two piece?" I thought he had the same type as mine.Txas2step wrote:Pretty sure he is referring to the upper part with the grease fitting.There was a post several yrs back on this ,I'll try to find and post.riffraff wrote:It is rubber with thin metal surrounding the outside and a metal sleeve on the inside.

Either way, I think we have his question answered :)

Thanks Doug. I have a '70 D100 parts truck but never looked at the front springs that close. Chris.digdoug wrote:68 and back have the metal bushing,69 and up have the rubber one.

Re: Bushing Question
Hello.
Thank you all for the answers.
The bushing on the picture looks like the MOOG 266 bushing for the leaf spring eyes.
If someone tell me that these are the same my question will be answerd.
