Prothane 76-86 Jeep CJ5/7/8 Front & Rear Main Spring Eye Bushings - Red

If your Jeep CJ is starting to feel a bit loose in the suspension, especially over bumps or when turning, worn-out spring eye bushings are a common culprit. These bushings sit where your leaf springs attach to the frame and shackles, and over time, they can crack, compress, or even fall out, leading to a sloppy ride and potential alignment issues. This set from Prothane is designed to replace those tired originals on your 1976-1986 Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or Scrambler.

Prothane uses a specially formulated polyurethane material for these bushings. It's a well-built material that offers a good balance of durability and flexibility, helping to absorb road shock while maintaining proper suspension geometry. Unlike stock rubber bushings that can degrade quickly, polyurethane holds its shape and resists tearing, which means you can expect a more consistent feel from your suspension for longer. This set includes the main bushings needed for the spring eyes, helping to restore that solid connection between your springs and the chassis.

Replacing these bushings is a solid job for a weekend mechanic. Make sure you have a good way to remove the old, seized bushings and press in the new ones. Having a helper can make this job go smoother. Once installed, you should notice a more controlled and responsive feel from your suspension.
