How many bushings do I need for my Jeep?

Each shackle assembly typically uses four bushings (two per side). Since these bushings can be used in either the front or rear shackle locations, you'll need to determine how many shackle assemblies you plan to service. For a full suspension refresh on both front and rear shackles, you would generally need eight bushings in total.

What is the benefit of polyurethane bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings, like these from Prothane, are known for being more durable and resistant to degradation from road contaminants and temperature changes compared to traditional rubber bushings. They offer a firmer ride and can last longer under demanding conditions.

Do these bushings come with new hardware?

This product listing is for the frame shackle bushings only. New hardware, such as bolts, nuts, and washers, is not included and would need to be sourced separately if your original hardware is worn or damaged.

Product Details

If you're working on the suspension of your 1959-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6, or Willys, these red frame shackle bushings from Prothane are a solid option. They replace the stock bushings found in your frame's shackle assemblies, which are crucial for allowing your suspension to flex properly while absorbing road shock. Worn-out bushings can lead to a sloppy ride and affect handling, so replacing them is a key step in restoring your Jeep's feel.

These bushings are made from Prothane's polyurethane material, known for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. They're designed to fit right into the factory shackle locations, making installation straightforward for a DIYer or mechanic. Because they're used in either the front or rear shackle setup, you can tackle one end of the Jeep at a time or replace all of them for a complete suspension refresh. This particular part number is for one bushing, so be sure to order the correct quantity for your application – typically four per shackle set, and two shackle sets per axle.
