Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Spring Eye and Shackle Bushing Kit fits the 1977-1979 Pontiac Phoenix. Part number W73822. You receive 12 bushings, 2 tubes, and grease. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The chassis code on the listing is X-Body.
Leaf spring bushings do a lot of work: the spring flexes and changes length as it moves, and the eye and shackle pivots absorb it. Replacing worn ones puts the axle back where it belongs. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Phoenix: Ball Joint Boot Kit.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
