Leaf Spring mounting bushings - Replacement?
I recently purchased a 1999 C5. The front end is a bit lose so I am replacing most of the bushings, new shocks etc. This is not going to be a daily driver, so I am keeping the leaf springs.
However, I did notice that the mounting bushing seems to be pretty worn out. Does anything one know where I can get replacement busing for the C5 ?
Thanks
Todd

Huh.....learn something new everyday they say. I always had the impression those were glued on at the factory and there wasn't any replacment made for those. Nice find.

They make polyethene bushings too. I forgot where I got mine. There are also rubber bushings under the ends of the leaf spring as well you might want to look at as well. They are very easy to replace but were impossible to find when I was looking 5 years ago.
