Trailing arm bushings

[daver123]

Hey guys, I have been putting this off for too long. My rear trailing arms bushings are shot and need new ones. I cant seem to find the bushings from anywhere but the dealer and they want nearly 50 bucks a piece so im looking for alternatives. Does anyone know where i can get some cheap or has anyone tried converting to johnny joints?

I'd think jonny joints would be a good idea if you can do it. Smoother articulation and replaceble busings should always be available.

 

 

On the other hand I think energy makes some poly ones that should last forever.

i got my urethane bushing from 4x4parts.com...

i replaced the upper and lower trail arm bushings for the rear.

big difference on the highway. much more stable

if you can cut and weld get some creeper joints from trail gear. or actually i think steevo has some on his site that actually fit directly into the stock link mounts...

as far as highway driving, would there be any noticeable difference between rubber/urethane bushings vs johnny/currie joints?

I'd like to switch to Johnny's as long as it doesn't effect my highway/ high speed driving
