Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Spring Eye and Shackle Bushing Kit fits the 1973-1981 Oldsmobile Omega. The kit contains 12 bushings, 2 tubes, and grease. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The part number is W73822.
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 Omega: Ball Joint Boot Kit, Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit, and Engine and Gearbox Mount Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
