G`day All.
I am in the process of doing some maintenance on my tandem axle camping trailer. It is using 2 ton leaf springs and set up in the rocker configuration. I am replacing the worn hanger bolts with the greasable type. I originally built it with polly spring bushes. These are trashed so wondering what others would recommend? There are many materials out there now. Obviously being able to grease the bushes will extend their life.
Cheers Polly.

I think you'll find the common nylon bushes will work fine.
They are a bit harder than the poly bushes.

Ive jsut tried to put new nylon bushes in my springs and the holes on one spring seem to be elongated, when driven in they cracked. The other spring went in fine, any ideas?
