Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Spring Eye and Shackle Bushing Kit fits the 1973-1981 Pontiac Firebird. You receive 12 bushings, 2 tubes, and grease. Order it as part number W73822. It is listed for the F-Body chassis. Position: rear.
On a leaf-sprung vehicle the spring eyes and shackles pivot on bushings, and they take the movement every time the axle moves. Worn rubber lets the axle shift and clunk, and heavy loads speed that up. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Firebird: Body Mount Bushing Kit, Ball Joint Boot Kit, and Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
