Leafspring suspension bushes - Land Rovers Only

rupertmja · 06-05-2007, 11:37 PM

First post and new to Land Rovers.; just got my first one.

It's a mid 1970s Series mixture of IIa and III and I want to replace the leafspring suspension bushes. I went to a local supplier and he tried to sell me some bushes that were really soft, I mean, you could squish them with your fingers they were so soft. Surely that can't be right.

Also, any methods to get the old ones out would be highly appreciated? What dod you do? Press them? Burn them? What? Any special tricks? Never worked on leaf springs before.

Cheers,
