Hey all,

I was taking off my rear leaf springs for replacement, but was unable to get my rear leaf spring hanger bolts to come out. Apparently this is a common issue and the solution is to cut them out. My question is, how hard is it to find replacement bolts and what is needed?

 

Dealership ended up being able to order some. Was $7/piece I think. Picking them up tomorrow, we'll see if they are the right ones.

 

By the way, if you end up having to replace the metal sleeve in the bushing (1 on each side) and your bushing kit doesn't come with one, don't call the dealership. They wanted $45 each side. I ended up buying these instead:

 

ya i got the energy set for my chev 63's . super easy and soo good!

 

Do you think they are better than OME? I only ask because I have a full rear bushing set from OME too.

 

Not sure. I'd say even. Both are better than what was there.

 

Haha, true that.
