How many of these bushings do I need for my Jeep?

You will need two bushings per spring eye, and since there are four spring eyes on the rear suspension (two per spring), you'll need a total of eight bushings for the vehicle. These are sold individually.

What is the purpose of a spring shackle bushing?

Leaf spring shackle bushings allow the spring to flex and articulate as the suspension moves. They also help to absorb road vibrations and noise, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Does this bushing come with any hardware?

This product listing is for the rubber bushing only. Any necessary hardware, such as bolts or sleeves, would need to be sourced separately if not already present on your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

This rear leaf spring shackle bushing from Omix measures 1.00 inch in outer diameter, 0.50 inch in inner diameter, and 1.70 inches wide. It's designed to replace the original bushing in your 1976-1986 Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or CJ8 Scrambler. These bushings are crucial for allowing your suspension to articulate smoothly while absorbing road shock, helping to maintain a comfortable ride and proper wheel control.

You'll need two of these bushings per spring eye, meaning eight total for the vehicle, as they are sold individually. Omix offers these as an OE style replacement, meaning they aim to match the original fit and function of your Jeep's suspension components. They are made from rubber, which is a common material for these types of bushings because it offers a good balance of durability and vibration dampening.

If you're rebuilding the suspension on your classic CJ, these bushings are a straightforward part of the job. They are a direct fit, so installation should be manageable if you're comfortable working on your Jeep's undercarriage.
