Leaf Spring Bushings

When greasing the suspension I had two zerks not taking grease. As what often occurs, the bolt was clogged with crud preventing the flow. That crud was due to worn bushings. When the bolts are removed for cleaning don't forget to look at the bushings, or the lack thereof in my case.

Ouch. I hope you had new ones available. If memory serves they are brass or soft metal?

Actually, I do carry spares along with a couple bolts. Yes, the bushings are bronze.
