Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Spring Eye and Shackle Bushing Kit fits the 1975-1979 Buick Skylark. Included: 12 bushings, 2 tubes, and grease. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Order it as part number 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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Skylark: Ball Joint Boot Kit, Transmission Mount Bushing Kit, and Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit.
Features
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
