Does anyone know if I can/need to purchase "shackle bushings" for my Warrior shackles? Does such a part exist and if so...would the stock bushings suffice?


Thanks!

Isn't the bushing inside the springs? I didn't buy any when I put my WAR's on. The stock ones been fine.
 






Yes and I've heard they are a PITA to replace...I was just wondering because I'm getting a horrible CREEAK when I go over an incline at an angle (ie a driveway) and didn't know if it was the shackle/spring location...or the spring pack itself. I was hoping that replacing the shackle bushings might make a difference.

This may be a year too late but I was wondering if you replaced the bushings where you got them if you did and how did it work. i currently have creaking in my right front, i am purchasing a set of poly bushings to replace but labor costs is about four hours and even with my discount rate working at a dealership it is still about $180 for labor, So i guess i am asking if that fixed the problem before i drop the coin
