replacing shock bushing?
 

hey guys, i just found out that the bushing on my front shock is worn out, i have a 2002 tundra trd, with bilstein shocks in the front, i was wondering if its possible to change the bushing instead of buying a whole new shock? and how hard is it to replace this bushing?

I've replaced a bushing in a set of Bilsteins, or at least removed the bushing and put in a different sized sleeve:

So it is physically possible, the question is whether you can find a replacement bushing, give Bilstein custom support a call and see what they can come up with.

The Bils. bushings are different than others I have seen, Rancho shocks use a sort of hour glass shaped bushing, KYBs use a straight sided rubber bushing without the end flanges that the Bils. bushings have.

what about universal bushings, there is a lot of them on the net?

Measure what you need and see if any of them will fit. Energy Susp. might be a place to try:

Or call up Bilstein, I've found their customer support to be awesome:
